Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Disciple: Does my Realization help others? Maharshi: Yes, and it is best help that you can possibly render to others. Those who have discovered great truths have done so in the still depths of the Self. But really there are no "others" to be helped. For the Realized Being sees only the Self, just as the goldsmith sees only the gold while valuing it in various jewels made of gold. When you identify yourself with the body, name and form are there. But when you transcend the body-consciousness the "others" also disappear. The Realized One does not see the world as different from himself. Disciple: Would it be better if the saints mixed with others? Maharshi: There are no "others" to mix with. The Self is the only Reality.
