जान रहा हूँ देख रहा हूँ

"जान रहा हूँ, देख रहा हूँ" (Jaan Raha Hoon, Dekh Raha Hoon) is a very famous spiritual phrase and the title of a popular booklet/discourse by Pandit Ratanchand Bharill. It captures the essence of the Gyaata-Drishta (Knower-Seer) nature of the soul. Core Philosophy: The Soul's Function: According to Jainism, the soul's only true function is to "Know" (Jaan-na) and "See" (Dekh-na). This book emphasizes that everything else—feeling hungry, being angry, or the body being sick—is not the soul's work; it is just something the soul "observes." Detachment (Vairagya): When you say, "I am knowing and seeing this pain," you automatically create a distance between yourself (the soul) and the pain. This is the practice of Bheda-Vijnana (Science of Differentiation). End of Doership: Bharill Ji explains that our stress comes from the ego of "I am doing" (Kartrutva). By shifting to "I am only knowing," the burden of being a "doer" drops, leading to instant peace. Practical Meditation: The phrase acts as a constant mantra for mindfulness. Whether in a happy or sad situation, reminding oneself "Main jaan raha hoon, dekh raha hoon" helps one remain stable and equanimous (Samayik).
