a glimpse of the Self

[Guest guest]

Question:

"Can we at least have a glimpse of the real self everyday?"

Sri Ramana:

"Between sleep and waking there is a momentary twilight. The waking

consciousness begins with the 'I' -thought. Just before the upsurge of the

'I'-thought there is a split second of undifferentiated pure consciousness.

First unconsciousness, then the light of pure consciousness, then the

'I'-thought with which world-consciousness floods in. This is the order. The

middle state is self awareness. We can sense it if we are sufficiently alert and

watchful."

 

(Ramana Maharshi Anwers 100 Questions, question 43)
