Katha Upanishad 6.9
intermediate
न संदृशे तिष्ठति रूपमस्य न चक्षुषा पश्यति कश्चनैनम्। हृदा मनीषा मनसाभिक्लृप्तो य एतद्विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति॥
na saṃdṛśe tiṣṭhati rūpamāsya na cakṣuṣā paśyati kaścanainam | hṛdā manīṣā manasābhiklṛpto ya etadviduramṛtāste bhavanti ||
""His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye. By the heart, by wisdom, by the mind, He is revealed. Those who know this become immortal.""
What This Means:
The Self isn't visible to physical eyes. It's known through the heart, wisdom, and purified mind. Those who know it this way become immortal.
Going Deeper:
Three inner faculties work together: heart (feeling), manisha (wisdom), and purified mind. All three are needed for realization.
How To Apply This:
Stop trying to see the Self with your eyes. Know it with heart, wisdom, and concentrated mind.
