Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 D. How shall I reach the Self ? Maharshi - There is no reaching the Self . If the Self were to be reached , it would mean that the Self is not here and now but is yet to be obtained. What is got afresh will also be lost. So it will be impermanent . What is not permanent is not worth striving for . So I say the Self is not reached. You are the Self ; you are already That. The fact is , you are ignorant of your blissful state. Ignorance supervenes and draws a veil over the pure Self , which is Bliss. Attempts are directed only to remove this veil of ignorance , which is merely wrong knowledge. The wrong knowledge is the false identification of the self with the body, mind , etc. This false identification must go , and then the Self alone remains. Therefore Realization is for everyone ; Realization makes no difference between aspirants. This very doubt whether whether you can realize and the notion 'I have nort realized ' are themselves the obstacles. Be free from these obstacles also.
