What is it that sees what sees?
What is aware of being aware?
If your answer is "me", then what is "me"? What am "I"?
This is not a philosophical exercise, this is not an infinite regression.
The question simply points "inward", and invites you to look in that direction to see for yourself what you may honestly find.
It also may have the affect of quieting the mind,
seeking to grasp where the sense of "I" comes from.
A quiet mind may show you're on the right path. Keep looking in that direction, quietly and earnestly.
We know intuitively, beyond doubt, that what-we-are is "what's looking".
Yet if we look for "what's looking", we can't see it -- it has no form -- it is invisible. We can't even really "feel" it, because it is what illuminates any feelings. Yet it is the most real and undeniable thing we know, this that is looking, from our innermost being.
We at least "know" it by virtue of "being" it. We are it. What's looking.
We can't stand apart from it, to see or know it objectively. It is formless, and non-locatable -- we can't really pinpoint where it's coming from.
See for yourself.
