outside. One who thus sees the Universe is a seeing is a Philosophy (view point of seeing).
The order in this reference would be seer. Seeing (view point or philosophy) and the scene (Universe). It is possible to see the scene but only when the seer is able and seeing is efficient
seer and his
Capacity of Seeing as the Scene is :
If the vision is unprejudiced and the seer is free from clutches, then the scene (Universs) can be seen in its real form. But if he is under the clutches and his vision is distorted then the seer has to see what can be seen with distorted vision just like the broken pieces of a mirror.
When the seer is equanimous then real form of the scene can be viewed. To be equanimous is to be free from any binding or cover which can obstruct the seeing. The equanimous seeing produces equanimous vision (philosophy) and strengthens the feeling of equality.
It is worth considering that what are those covers which obstruct real seeing? The seer is able and efficient to see the scene (Universe). We can compare the prejudiced seeing with that of seeing through goggles. A man with goggles on his eyes, sees the world in the same colours as are his goggles. So is the case of a seer who is of prejudiced and distorted vision. It is not the case that seer is incompetent of seeing but because of distortion, he fails to see the real form of the Universe just like a goggles-putting on man. The soul who is a real seeing has the most effective cover of MOTIA or ATTACHMENT. It reflects in myness (possession).
