Adarsana
Adarsana is a Sanskrit word which means "perception" or "seeing". It is used in Hinduism and Buddhism to describe the act of seeing things as they truly are, without being influenced by our own thoughts or emotions.
Imagine you are looking at a picture. Sometimes, you might have a hard time seeing what's in the picture because you have other thoughts or feelings in your head that distract you. But, if you are able to focus only on what's in the picture, you can see it more clearly.
Similarly, adarsana is about being able to see everything around us without any distractions. This means seeing things exactly as they are, without any judgement, bias, or preconceptions. It's like taking off a pair of glasses that have been distorting what you see.
This practice helps us to understand ourselves and the world around us more deeply, with greater clarity. It can lead to greater awareness, empathy, and wisdom.
