How can I attain Self-realization ?

Q : How can I attain Self-realisation ?

 

A : Realisation is nothing to be gained afresh ;

It is already there . All that is necessary is to get rid of the

thought

"I have not realised ".

 

Stillness or peace is realisation. There is no moment when

the Self is not . So long as there is doubt or the feeling

of non-realisation , the attempt should be made to rid oneself

of these thoughts. They are due to identification of the Self

with the not-Self. When the not-Self disappears ,

the Self alone remains. To make room , it is enough that

objects be removed. Room is not brought in from elsewhere.
