David hume: Consciousness does not objectify it itself. I find thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories. A constant stream is this self. The very fact that youare to see all these things means the eyes exist,. But eyes are not something that is seen by the eyes. You can see a reflection of the eyes. So, avisha, this is one one thing we must notice about consciousness.

"The objects of knowledge, viz., sound, touch, etc., which are perceived in the waking state, are different from each other because of their peculiarities; but the consciousness of these, which is different from them, does not differ because of its homogeneity." Inspired by this verse from the book, Pancadasi by Vidyaranya (Ch 1, Verse 3), Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a discourse on direct path of Advaita Vedanta.
