The Dṛgdṛśyaviveka, which is attributed to ŚAṄKARA, invites us to discern (viveka) between Real and non-real, between the ātman (Self), the "Seer," and the non-ātman (non-Self), the "seen," between Infinite and finite, between Life and death. The human being's greatest conflicts stem from attachment to and identification with the non-ātman, with the finite. Knowledge, on the other hand, leads to the unveiling of sat, True Existence.
