Every man observes from his own standpoint and from his capacity to observe.


Thinking of what is beyond thinking Is still thinking. Whoever fulfills this fulfills his own nature and is indeed fulfilled.
- Ashtavakra Gita 12:7-8

Law of relativity applied to the realm of psychology. This is true up to a certain point only, but not fully true. Science has pointed out the relativity of all observations to the position of the observers that is the Ego or the false self. But science has not realized that the observer himself is also purely relative and that the world which is being observed does not exist apart from the seer of the ego. 

Science has not seen the truth about the formless witness or formless observer, about that which sees of the relativities that nothing can be said which permits him to see the relativities and which itself views the ego, body and world as one of those relativities. 

Science says: - Every man observes  from his own standpoint and from his capacity to observe. Thus it is unaware of the formless witness, which witnesses the body+ego+universe or I  together.  And the witnessed (Mind) has no existence apart from the formless witness (consciousness).  

Thus it is necessary to mentally observe on the standpoint of the formless witness to realize the observer is not the form but the formless consciousness and realize the observed is mere mirage created out of the formless observer, which is within the mirage but it is without the mirage.
