Excerpts
Question: When a man realises the Self, what will he see?
Bhagavan: There is no seeing, seeing is only being. The state of Self-realisation, as we call it, is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been. All that is needed is that you give up your realisation of the not-true as true. All of us are realising, i.e., regarding as real that which is not real. We have only to give up this practice on our part. Then we shall realise the Self as the Self. In other words, �Be the Self�. At one stage one would laugh at oneself that one tried to discover the Self which is so self-evident. So, what can we say to this question?
