from Q&A with KnA“The Puruṣa in this body is called the witness (upadraṣṭā), the permitter (anumantā), the supporter, the experiencer, the great Lord, and also the Supreme Self (paramātmā).” The astonishing claim is that the individual witness in this body, correctly understood, is not different from the Supreme. How? Because the “individuality” was only the mistaken attachment of 13.20; strip that away, and the witness in me and the witness in all — and the one witness Brahman — are found to be the same light (recall 13.2, “know Me as the knower in all fields”). The Puruṣa is paramātman not by promotion but by the removal of a misidentification. What seemed a private self was always the universal Self, wearing a costume.
