Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Q: When a man realizes the Self , what will he see ? A: There is no seeing. Seeing is only being. The state of Self-realization , as we call it , is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away , but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been. All that is needed is that you give up your realisation of the not-true as true. All of us are regarding real that which is not real. We have only to give up this practice on our part. Then we shall realize the Self as the Self; in other words "Be the Self". At one stage you will laugh of yourself fotr trying to discover the Self which is so self-evident. So , what can we say to this question ? That stage transcends the seer and the seen. There is no seer there to see anything. The seer who is seeing all these now ceases to exist and the Self alone remains. from Be As You Are, The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
