Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Disciple: How can I attain Self-realization? Maharshi: Realization is nothing to be gained afresh; it is already there. All that is necessary is to get rid of the thought 'I have not realized.' Stillness or Peace is Realization. There is no moment when the Self is not. So long as there is doubt or the feeling of non-Realization, the attempt should be made to get rid of these thoughts. They are due to the identification of the Self with the not-Self. When the not-Self disappears, the Self alone remains. To make room, it is enough that the cramping be removed; room is not brought in from elsewhere.
