The 'I' casts off the illusion of the 'I' and yet remains 'I'. Such is the paradox of Self-realization. The Realized do not see any paradox in it. Consider the case of the worshipper. He approaches God and prays to be absorbed in Him. He then surrenders himself in faith and by concentration. And what remains afterwards? In the place of the original 'I', self-surrender leaves a residuum of God in which the 'I' is lost. That is the highest form of devotion or surrender and the peak of detachment.

Realization consists of getting rid of the false idea that one is not realized.

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

A realized one sends out waves of spiritual influence in his aura, which draw many people towards him. Yet he may sit in a cave and maintain complete silence.

If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.

Your true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.

Guru, God and Self are One
