When we see our self, there is no world; and when we lose sight of the self, we get ourselves bound in the world. The self is like a pearl. To find it you must dive deep down into silence, deeper and ever deeper until it is reached. The self is pure knowledge, pure delight where there is no duality. The illuminated one who is happy in the peace of the self, without thought of the past and the future, and is like a mere witness of the present, has his knots of bondage cut. He alone who has realized the self in the heart has known the Truth. Having transcended the dualities, he is never perplexed. The self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself, within yourself. A self-realized man remains happy without being affected by false appearances, whereas the ignorant man is miserable. Seek the source of the ego, abide there for ever in the source and find yourself in bliss. That pure consciousness which is the reality, and which shines without a break, as "I AM" when the mind becomes calm, is the supreme bliss. The enlightened one that has become one with the unchanging supreme consciousness, like a river that has become one with the ocean, takes birth no more in a body. All actions, past, present and future, become extinct in the case of a liberated one, because his sense of being the doer is gone; it was lost along with the ego, who alone was the doer. You can never find mind through the mind. Go beyond it, and find it non-existent. How is it possible for the mind to know the Lord who imparts His light to the mind, and shines within the mind, except by turning the mind inward and fixing it on the Lord? Self realization is cessation of thoughts and of all mental activity. Thoughts are like bubbles upon the surface of the sea. Stillness means 'being free from thoughts' and yet aware.
