ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ
Drig-Drishya-Viveka, Verse 1 · Traditionally attributed to Adi Shankaracharya (also ascribed to Bharati Tirtha / Vidyaranya) · Classical Vedanta period
The Drig-Drishya-Viveka opens with this verse to set out its whole method: the discrimination between the seer (drik) and the seen (drishya). Beginning with the simplest case — a form seen by the eye — it shows that the eye, though seer of the form, is itself seen by the mind; the mind, seer of the eye, is itself seen by the inner Witness; and that Witness, pure consciousness, is the final seer that can never be made an object. The text builds on this verse to lead the seeker, step by step, from the outer world to the realization of the witnessing Self as one's true nature.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
The teachers of Vedanta say that one who truly grasps this single verse holds the key to Self-knowledge, for in learning that the Witness can never be seen, the seeker ceases to mistake the body and mind for the Self and comes to rest as the changeless awareness that no sorrow or change can ever touch.

ಅರ್ಥ:रूप दृश्य है और नेत्र उसका द्रष्टा है; वह (नेत्र) दृश्य है और मन उसका द्रष्टा है; मन की वृत्तियाँ दृश्य हैं और साक्षी (आत्मा) उनका द्रष्टा है — किन्तु वह साक्षी स्वयं कभी दृश्य नहीं होता।

रूपं दृश्यं लोचनं दृक् ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ
Recite the verse slowly and then turn it into contemplation. Notice that the form you see is the 'seen' and the eye is the 'seer'; then that the eye itself is 'seen' by the mind; then that the very thoughts of the mind are 'seen' by the witnessing awareness within you. Rest as that Witness — the seer that is never seen. This is a verse for reflective enquiry (vichara), best practised under the guidance of a teacher of Vedanta.
