If one is undisturbed and serene and free from doubt and anxiety due to having faith in the words of the Guru, then at some point grace acts and the Truth reveals it self from within us and makes us see the identity of Atman (our individual self) and Brahman (Supreme Self) as simply the Self. Since Self is One without a second, the Self reveals It Self to be our very own Self. Then the Mahavakya, "I myself am Brahman" is understood upon hearing it even once. Since Self-Knowledge is filtered through the mind in the relative world, it is expressed in a variety of ways by the Sages. Self-Realized sages are fully content knowing their own inherent completeness and become perfectly harmless, having nothing to attain. The Supreme Goddess (making her appearance in Chapter 20 of Tripura Rahasya) explains the nature of ultimate reality in a straight forward way to the Sages who evoked her (translation by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait). "This state has been called identical with the Self by wise men. That is Moksha. It occurs when the knower, knowledge, and that which is attained become One." Again, later, Devi states, "There is no siddhi superior to Self-Realization.........Self-Realization is the only siddhi which leads one beyond the sphere of time."
