THERE IS NO PROBLEM OF CONSCIOUSNESS .
The eye of the eye, the ear of the ear, the speech of the speech: CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT PART OF THE BODY, NOT PRODUCED BY THE BODY.
Man descending into a field in a hot air balloon asks a farmer on the ground “Where am I?”
“You are in a balloon.”
“Sir, are you a mathematician?”
“Yes, how did you know?”
“Your answer was absolutely correct and absolutely useless.” LOL
Anyone searching for CONSCIOUSNESS will never find it because he’s the one who’s looking. He is it.
The very fact of your seeing (experiencing-RS) means you have eyes, consciousness. You’re not being vague paradoxical or tricky. You’re using language in the best way that you possibly can. By YOUR LIGHT your entire body system is lit up and shining. In Vedanta that is exactly what we call God.
