The boundaries of known and unknown keep changing depending on how you deploy your instruments of knowledge. This reflected consciousness and the mind together is the jeva, the sentient being. Consciousness in itself, is it a knower? No. Is it an enjoyer or sufferer? No. It is also the doer. In association with the instruments of action, with a body, this reflected consciousness feels,. i walk, i talk, i sit, i work. I am exercising. I am boating in the lake. But it is also bogta - which means both enjoyment and suffering, pleasure and pain.
Inspired by the 15th chapter of the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a discourse on the nature of the Self.
