" Audience --------- Dear Bhagwan (Self/God), you are self. Can you tell me when I will get realized? Ramana ------ If I am self, then there is no one besides me and there is no one to be realized. If I am not self, then, I am just an ordinary person like you. ....either way, I can't answer your question ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
