self

Visitor: 

“When a man Realises The Self, 

... What will he see?” 

Bhagavan:

“There is no seeing. 

... 'Seeing', is only 'Being'. 

'The State Of Self-Realization' - 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 realization of 'the not-true' - as True. 

All of us are realizing, i.e.; regarding 'as Real' - that which is 'Not Real'. 

We have only to give up this practice, on our part. Then we shall Realize The Self, as The Self - or 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?

That stage, Transcends 'the seer and the seen'. 

... There is 'no seer' there, 'to see' anything;

'The seer' - who is 'seeing' all this, now ceases to exist, and The Self Alone remains.”
