D: How can I attain Self-realization?

 

M: Realization is nothing to be gained afresh: it is already there. All

that is necessary is to get rid of the thought "I have not realized."

Stillness or Peace is Realization. There is no moment when the Self

is not. So long as there is doubt or the feeling of non-Realization, the

attempt should be made to rid oneself of these thoughts. They are due

to the identification of the Self with the not-Self. When the not-Self

disappears, the Self alone remains. To make room it is enought that the

cramping be removed: room is not brought in from elsewhere.
