Are you the witness of the witness?

The following excerpt is from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Question (Q): Acharya Ji, once I had the experience of the ‘seer’, but it remained only for few minutes. How can I be the seer forever?

Acharya Prashant (AP): And you are the seer of that ‘seer’, now that you are talking about it.

Q: I can’t say that surely.

AP: Then how do you know about that ‘seer’?

Q: It’s in a sense.

AP: How do you know about that ‘seer’? To know about that ‘seer’, you must be seeing that ‘seer’.

Q: But I am not sure that it is the ‘witness’.

AP: If the ‘Witness’ is really a witness, you won’t be able to say anything about it.

The ‘Witness’ remains unseen. And if he is unseen, he can neither be talked of, nor thought of, nor imagined, nor described. You can never say, “Ah! The Witness does exist.” How do you know he exists? Are you witnessing the ‘Witness’?

Who are you then? The Witness of the ‘Witness’? The Truth behind the Truth?

Q: Then what happens when there is no one to observe? What is the point when there is no one to observe?
