Guest guest Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Sri Ramana Maharshi :- "Consciousness is the Self - of which everyone is aware . No one is away from the Self [ i.e.Consciousness] So each one is Self Realised . Yet what a mystery that that no one knows this fact and desires to realise the Self ? This ignorance is due to the mistaking of the body for the Self . Realisation now consists in getting rid of the false idea that one is not Realised . Realisation is not anything newly got . It must be already there in order that it may be permanent . otherwise realisation is not worth attempting . After the false notion "I am the body' or 'I have not realised ' is removed , Supreme Consciousness or the Self alone is left over , Which is called Realisation in the present state of knowledge . However,the truth is that Realisation is eternal and already there , here and now . Finally , Realisation amounts to elimination of ignorance and nothing more or less .
