“Self” (IM 396)

The "self" is the pure awareness. It is the light of human. It's beyond all the good and evil, beyond all the sufferings of human heart. In that state one sees without seeing for there is nothing separate from him, touches without touching for there is nothing separate from him, thinks without thinking for there is nothing separate from him, knows without knowing for there is nothing separate from him. It is the supreme power of human. It is through self that nowhere can be known… We are said to be what are desire is, as our desire is so is our so is our will, as our will is so are our acts, as we act so we become. In the “The Upanishads” it is said- A wife is loved not for her sake but because the self lives in her, a husband is loved not for his sake but because the self lives in him. A child is loved not for their sake but because the self lives in them. A creatures are loved not for their sake but because the self lives in them. A wealth is loved not for its sake but because the self lives in it. The Gods are loved not for their sake but because the self lives in them. The universe is loved not for their sake but because the self live sin it. Everything is loved not for their sake but because the self lives in it. And so, The self is what we have to be aware of….
