DUALITY-

"YOU CANNOT KNOW AND BECOME THAT WHICH YOU ARE IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT WHICH YOU ARE NOT."

SEEING-

What is a  Dristi? It is a place to gaze, a focal point... or, better yet, no-body looking at no-thing.

 UNITY-

There is a seer which implies there is something to see and requires an act of seeing. Yoga negates the separateness of these 3 things... seer, seeing and seen are one and the same.
