Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 The ego self (separate self) does not exist at all. The ego self appears and disappears and is transitory whereas the real Self is permanent. Though you are actually the true Self you wrongly identify the real Self with the ego self. There is no goal to be reached. There is nothing to be attained. You are the Self. You exist always. Nothing more can be predicated of the Self than that it exists. Seeing God or the Self is only being the Self or yourself. seeing is being. you being the Self, want to know how to attain the Self. It is something like a man being at Ramanasramam asking how many ways there are to reach Ramanasramam and which is the best way for him. All that is required of you is to give up the thought that you are this body and to give up all thoughts of the external things or the not-self. The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. This is all that need be said.
