TRUTH REVEALED - SLOKA 20

RAMANA MAHARSHI / ULLADU NARPADU /  SLOKA 20

TRUTH  REVEALED / Grant Duff Seeing the Divine without seeing the Self, the Seer, is but seeing a mental image. He that sees the Self sees the Divine, they say. He alone that sees the Self, having entirely lost the ego, has found the Divine; because the Self is not apart from the Absolute.

THE FORTY ON EXISTENCE / Sadhu Arunachala (Major A.W.Chadwick) To see the Lord as other than the Self Is but a mere projection of the mind. That man who loses ego first of all And finds his birth-place, finds the seeing Self. `Tis said that that man has discovered God, Because God is none other than the Self.

REVELATION / K. Lakshmana Sarma (“Who”) When one sees a form of God, neglecting himself the seer, that vision is vision of a mental form; it is not a true vision of God. Does the sage, that has direct vision of the Self, see that Supreme Being, who is (that) Real Self ? Having lost the ego, he (the Sage) is not at all distinct from Him.

SYNOPSIS / Grant Duff God is none other than the Self. To see the Self, having destroyed the ego, is to see God; all else is but a vision of the mind.
