Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 13
The body, is seen distinct from the self. Therefore, it is called 'Idam'. The physical body, consisting of earth, water, fire, air and ether which is ever-changing is 'Idam' (this). Change in the body, is perceived by five sense-organs---mar, eye, skin, tongue and nose. Changes in sense-organs are perceived, by the mind. The change of mind (its fixity or volatility), is perceived by intellect. The change in the intellect (full understanding, partial understanding, no understanding), is known by the self, which ever remains unchanged. Thus the self is a real onlooker, which can perceive and know others independently, but can never be known or seen, by anyone.[1] |

Then intellect is the onlooker and the mind is the object to be seen. At last the soul is the onlooker of the dispositions of the intellect but the soul can't be seen by anyone.
