Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Disciple: How is one to realize the Self?Maharshi: Whose Self? Find out.D. I don't know how. M. Just think over the question. Who is it that says "I don't know?" 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 may try, I do not seem to catch the 'I'. It is not even clearly discernible.M: Who is it that say that the 'I' is not discernible? Are there two 'I's in you that one is not discernible by the other?D: Instead of enquiring 'Who am I?', can I put the question to myself 'Who are You?" . . .M: Whatever form your enquiry may take, you must finally come to the one I, the Self.
