Source, God, how truly remarkable we are.
If we want to know who we really are, human beings on planet earth.
We only have to look at saints and sages.
They have reached the pinnacle of achievement on the spirit plane.
They have attained to that level where they are spirit more than human beings.
They are the ones in tune, in touch with their spirit nature.
As a result, they are able to see and abide in the real eternal truth of who they are.
Who they really are and who we really are.
We are not this physical being.
We are not this body.
We are not this mind.
We are this spirit, that inhabits this body,
Without this spirit, the body would be like a garment,
of no life and soul.
Perceiving this reality, they share it with us.
Why live so immersed with matters of the body, they ask.
When you are here today and tomorrow you might be gone.
How do we attain this real self?
How to clear the dross of our physical self which clouds over this reality?
By removing what prevents us from seeing and realizing our real self.
Which is why it is termed, attaining to self-realization,
the day we perceive our real self, the eternal self as I. As the I am.
Saints and sages, they attained to it through silence, solitude, withdrawal from the world of senses.
Through meditation, through silencing of the noise of the world and voices of the head,
their real selves come through.
I attain it through decades of meditation, culminating with the practice of self inquiry of Ramana Maharshi.
