Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

Even the ignorant man

sees only the Self

when he sees objects.

But he is confused

and identifies the Self with the object;

the body and the senses,

and plays in the world.

Subject and object --

all merge in the Self.

There is no seer or objects seen.

The seer and the seen are the Self.

There are not many selves, either,

All are only one Self.
