Being oneself

[Guest guest]

` If we talk of knowing the Self, there must be two

selves, one a knowing self, another the self which is known,

and the process of knowing. The state we call realisation is

simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming

anything. If one has realised, one is that which alone is and

which alone has always been. One cannot describe that state.

One can only be that. Of course, we loosely talk of

Self-realisation, for want of a better term. How to

'real-ise' or make real that which alone is real?
