[Bilingual Tamil-English]

காண்பவை ஒன்றிலும் கருத்திலை
கருத்தென்ப காண ஒணாக் கண்


English - First Hearing- first time:

All you see
is veil—

Truth is the Eye
seeing itself

as you,
unseen —

-

All you see
is veil—

Truth is the Eye...
seeing itself

as you,
unseen

This is more than a song. It is a koan set to music.

In two lines of Tamil—written as part of Madhumozhi Thiruppa, —this couplet asks the question that dissolves the questioner:
காண்பவை யொன்றிலும் கருத்திலை
In nothing you see is there essence.
கருத்தென்ப காண ஒணாக் கண்
What is called essence is the Eye that cannot be seen.

The Paradox
You have spent your entire life looking.
Looking for happiness. For truth. For love. For God. For yourself.
You have looked outward—at the world of objects, events, people. You have looked inward—at thoughts, memories, feelings, sensations.
But everything you see—outer or inner—is precisely not what you're looking for.
Not because these things are false. But because the Real is not found in what is seen.
The Real is the seeing itself.
And here is where the teaching turns inside out:
The seeing cannot be seen.
Like the eye that illuminates every object in the room but can never turn around to catch itself, consciousness cannot find itself as an object of consciousness.
Every attempt to look for it moves you one step away. Because every search assumes the searcher and the sought are separate.
They are not.

What கருத்து Means
The Tamil word கருத்து does triple work here:
• Essence (the core reality beneath appearances)
• Consciousness (awareness itself)
• The seeing (the act that makes all experience possible)
The Siddhas are saying: What you seek is what you seek with.
You will never see it as an object. It is not out there. It is not even in here. It is the here in which "out there" and "in here" appear.

All You See Is Veil
The English translation says it directly:
All you see is veil—
Truth is the Eye seeing itself as you, unseen.
Not "the Eye is somewhere else, and you must find it."
The Eye is seeing itself as you, right now.
Every perception you have—every thought, every sensation, every moment of experience—is the Eye seeing itself.
Not because you become the Eye someday through spiritual practice.
Because you never stopped being it.
The veil is not that you don't see the Eye.
The veil is thinking you are not it.
