"O Zarathustra," answered the trodden one, "that would be something immense; how could I presume to do so! That, however, of which I am master and knower, is the BRAIN of the leech: that is MY world! And it is also a world! Forgive it, however, that my pride here findeth expression, for here I have not mine equal. Therefore said I: 'here am I at home.

The apparent difference between Consciousness and the conscious subject is due to the unreal ahamkara. But, our adversary again objects, the consciousness which expresses itself in the judgment 'I know, proves that the quality of being a 'knower' belongs to consciousness! By no means, we reply.

Let it then be said that as an iron ball is heated by contact with fire, so the consciousness of being a knower is imparted to the ahamkara through its contact with Intelligence.

All the while, in the very bosom of the finite experience, every conjunction required to make the relation intelligible is given in full. Either the knower and the known are: the self-same piece of experience taken twice over in different contexts; or they are

Tell them of the messenger whom the congregation of the divines of that land had delegated to meet Us, who, when attaining Our presence, questioned Us concerning certain sciences, and whom We answered by virtue of the knowledge We inherently possess. Thy Lord is, verily, the Knower of things unseen. “We testify,” said he, “that the knowledge Thou dost possess is such as none can rival.

That from the body, which is the object of the idea of 'I, and known to be an agent, there is different that Self which enjoys the results of the body's actions, viz. the heavenly word, and so on, is acknowledged by all who admit the validity of the instruments of knowledge; analogously, therefore, we must admit that different from the knower whom we understand by the term 'I, is the 'witnessing' inward Self.

We are glad to be driven from false, automatic fixities, anyhow. And once we are driven right on to nihilism we may find a way through. So, there is nothing absolute left in the universe. Nothing. Lord Haldane says pure knowledge is absolute. As far as it goes, no doubt. But pure knowledge is only such a tiny bit of the universe, and always relative to the thing known and to the knower.

And, O holy one, I also desire to hear all about Dushmanta that lion among men and how the hero obtained Sakuntala. It behoveth thee, O knower of truth and the first of all intelligent men, to tell me everything. And he took with him hundreds of horses and elephants. And surrounded by hundreds of warriors with lances and spears in their hands, the monarch set out on his journey.

And to be essentially intelligent means to be self-luminous. There are many scriptural texts declaring this, compare e.g. Up. Up. Up. Up. Up. Up. Up. Up. Up. Up. And the Sutrakara also will refer to the Self as a 'knower' in II, 3, 18. In general we may say that where there is light it must belong to something, as shown by the light of a lamp. The Self thus cannot be mere consciousness.

In it and availing himself of its offered aid he built his households and his cities, dwelling comfortably in his habitations. But the thought which enabled him to lay a secure basis, economic and social or political, for his life had other issues and promised other fruit. The Greek mind became interested in knowledge for its own sake and in itself as the knower of its world.
