Being oneself

If we talk of knowing the Self, there must be two selves, one a

knowing self, another the self which is known, and the process of

knowing. The state we call realisation is simply being oneself, not

knowing anything or becoming anything. If one has realised, one is

that which alone is and which alone hasalways been. One cannot

describe that state. One can only be that. Of course, we loosely talk

of Self-realisation, for want of a better term. How to 'realise' or

make real that which alone is real?- Sri Ramana Maharshi
