Ramana says
Speaking of realization, it implies two selves - the one to realize, the other to be realized. What is not already realized is sought to be realized. Once we admit our existence, how is it that we do not know our Self? ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

Ramana says:
"Sri Bhagavan read out, from the Prabuddha Bharata, Kabir's saying that all know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop. This is para bhakti, said he."

Ramana says:
Because of vasanas. But really it is easy, since we are the Self.All we have to do is to remember that. We keep on forgetting it, and thus think we are this body, or this ego. If the will and desire to remember Self are strong enough, they will eventually overcome vasanas. There must be a great battle going on inwardly all the time until Self is realised. This battle is symbolically spoken of in scriptural writings as the fight between God and Satan. In our sruti [revealed scripture] it is a Mahabharata war, where the asuras represent our bad thoughts and the devas our elevating ones."
