Verse 153

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ १५५ ॥

In plain words

The moment bare seeing turns and stands face to face with itself, the split opens: seen on one side, seer on the other. But when this seeing is facing nothing at all, no such split ever comes to be.

Close to the Sanskrit

When mere-seeing goes into the state of being face to face with itself, then it comes to be — the division of seen and seer; for in this, when it is not face to face, that does not come to be.
