“What is Self-realization? It is giving up the pretension that you are not the Self, that you are a mere body. People say to me, 'You are God Himself.' I reply, 'You are also He.' 'We are not He'-they rejoin. What else is this, but that they simulate and, for some lila of their own, hide behind a mask their real and divine nature?” SelfGodSelf RealizationOnenessDivinityDivine NatureDivinity Within Book:The Essential Swami Ramdas Source: The Essential Swami Ramdas
“An active life is perfectly in keeping with Self-realization and divine service. What is needed is a total dedication of your entire life to Him. In all situations maintain a steady consciousness of Divinity within and about you. Do not harass your mind with thoughts of weakness. Infinite strength is within you. Drawing inspiration and power from this source, be cheerful and contented at all times. Let the Name of the Lord dwell ever in your mind!” Self RealizationDivinityServiceName Of God Book:The Essential Swami Ramdas Source: The Essential Swami Ramdas
