Q: Does my realisation help others?

 

Yes, and it is the best help that you can

possibly render to others. But really there are

no others to be helped. For the realised being

sees only the Self, just as the goldsmith sees

only the gold while valuing it in various jewels

made of gold. When you identify yourself with

the body, name and form are there. But when

you transcend the body-consciousness, the

others also disappear. The realised one does

not see the world as different from himself.
