Concerning Self Awareness in Vedanta

 

What ought to be kept a hold of in this discussion is that the mind is by nature non-conscious.

The whole ‘field’ (B.G.13/the Field and the Knower of the Field)  is a plane of physical interaction that

purely by virtue of being/existing is pervaded by consciousness i.e. sat chit. 

‘He shining everything shines after him’ .  Self awareness is a natural result.  Its location in the Body/Mind/Intellect

(Ahamkara) comes as a result of the natural gravitation towards the sensing pole of the interaction. 

This is the distorted image of the self that the anatman doctrine controverts.
