pratibimba sraddha-
abhasa |
When a person sees pure firm faith in others, he is impressed; thus sraddha-abhasa or faith is invoked in him. He
desires elevation and so chants' constantly, though still with
strong attachments to sense pleasures and liberation. His
sraddha is not real but has the symptoms of sraddha. This
is defined in the scriptures as pratibimba-sraddha-abhasa. |
Awareness is your natural attribute—indeed, your essence—that makes this witnessing and observing possible. As such, awareness cannot be separated from you, the self.
