' The Unchanging Consciousness '...

The Overself perceives and knows the individual self,

but only as an imperturbable witness--

in the same way that the sun witnesses the various objects upon the earth but does not enter into a particular relation with a particular object.

So too the Overself is present in each individual self as the witness and as the unchanging consciousness which gives consciousness to the individual.
