Viveka is about discernment and the ability to see things clearly as they truly are. Not only through what people say, but through what they do. Words can be convincing and emotional but actions usually reveal the truth with vivid clarity.
This piece sits within that balance. The quiet moment where you have to step back and ask whether something is right for you, or whether you have been too close to see things properly. Sometimes what clouds our judgement is not distance, but proximity. We fail to see what is close to us because we're emotionally attached hoping reality becomes something different.
The opposing figures above the head speak to that inner conflict. The pull between instinct and illusion, right and wrong, clarity and confusion. Viveka is about creating enough stillness to hear the difference. To pause, meditate and look again before reacting.
