the witness-(Notes on Spiritual Discourses of Shri Atmananda, 4th September 1952, note 217) Suppose you are the witness to a particular thought. A little later, you remember that thought and you say you had that thought some time ago -- assuming thereby that you were the thinker when the first thought occurred, though you were then really the witness of that thought. This unwarranted change in your relationship with a particular thought -- from when the thought occurs to when you remember it -- is alone responsible for the whole confusion with regard to the witness. When you seem to remember a past thought, it is really a fresh thought by itself and it has no direct relationship with the old one. Even when you are remembering, you are the witness to that thought of remembrance. So you never change the role of your witnesshood, however much your activities may change.
