Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Disciple: How is one to realize the Self? Maharshi: Whose Self? Find out. D: Mine, but who am I? M: Find out yourself. D: I don't know how. M: Just think over the question. Who is it that says, "I don't know how"? Who is the "I" in your statement? What is not known? D: Somebody or something in me. M: Who is that somebody? In whom? D: Perhaps some power. M: Find out. D: Why was I born? M: Who was born? The answer is the same to all your questions. D: Who am I then? M. (Smiling) You have come to examine me? You must say who you are. D: However much I try, I do not seem to catch the "I". It is not even clearly discernable. M: Who is it that says that the "I" is not discernable? Are there two "I's" in you that one is not discernable by the other?
