self

When one has become still, that is to say when one has become established in a state of tranquility, then the activity of nature which continues at every moment in sleep and in waking and is part of the movement of the pilgrimage from birth to death, this and the thinking mind become caught in that Stream and eternally remain floating in it. Ever to keep the mind poised in the Self, wide-awake in the current of Reality, where the Unfathomable, the One-without-end is ever revealed in His Infinity.

being self

To see God and not the Self that sees 
is only to see a projection of the mind. 

It is said that God is seen by him alone who sees the Self; but one who has lost the ego and seen the Self is none other than God.

When scriptures speak of ‘seeing the Self’ and ‘seeing God’, what is the truth they mean? 

How to see the Self? 
As the Self is one without a second, it is impossible to see it.

How to see God? 
To see Him is to be consumed by Him.
