Thus there is neither witness or witnessed in the realm of ultimate reality or Brahman







 This witness position cannot be taken in the midst of work or activity, because work and activity are part of the mirage. 



This witness position cannot be taken in the midst of work or activity, because the witness is the formless subject and work and activity are happening within the object [which is in the form of universe or mind or waking experience]. The witness is not the body but the witness that witnesses the body and the world together without the physical apparatus.  The formless witness witnesses the dream as whole. Likewise the same witness, witnesses the waking experience as a whole. Thus the witness is within the three states as their formless substance and it is apart from the three states as their formless witness. It is apart because it not an entity or identity within the waking or dream.

 The formless substance and witness of the three states are one in essence therefore the witness[self or formless consciousness]  and witnessed [universe or waking or dream]  are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus there is neither witness or witnessed in the realm of ultimate reality or Brahman.   One becomes aware of this fact; when he indulges in deeper self-search.
