Verse 244. In my Vision being that of the Self I alone AM, " you " as such are

not; while in your vision, you alone are; in the Vision of the One Reality the

Self is all; when the Truth is sought and seen, I AM MYSELF ALL. (11)

 

(11) The meaning is that the multiplicity of egos, needing the use of the three

pronouns " I " " you " and " he " is unreal, since there is only one Real Self behind

all the egos.

Verse 247. In this State of Silence, which is egoless and mindless, who is there

called " I " to say, " I am Brahman? (12)

 

(12) Self-Realization is loosely described as that in which the soul sees itself

as Brahman; but every possible description of this State is bound to be

inaccurate and misleading, and needs to be corrected by another (statement) or

many others, and this applies to the present description; " I am Brahman " is just

a thought, and not Pure Consciousness; the thought cannot arise in the Pure

Consciousness, the Real Self, because there must be an ego (even) to think " I am

Brahman. "
