"If we talk of knowing the Self, there mustbe two selves, one a
knowing self, anotherthe self which is known, and the process
ofknowing. The state we call realisation issimply being oneself, not
knowing anythingor becoming anything. If one has realised,one is that
which alone is and which alone hasalways been. One cannot describe
that state.One can only be that. Of course, we looselytalk of
Self-realisation, for want of a betterterm. How to 'real-ise' or make
real thatwhich alone is real?"~ Sri Ramana Maharshi, "Be As You
Are"The Teachings of Sri Ramana MaharshiEdited by David Godman

Ah, this is sublime intelligence and love transcending. We can only
hope that others can come to appreciate, or better still, fully
experience this in their own lives. This moment of realization is
sacred because once achieved, it cannot ever be stolen or taken from
one...but it can to a great degree be shared. That is the true
magic!
