Question...

Q: Does my realisation help others?

A: Yes, and it is the best help that you can
possibly render to others. But really there are
no others to be helped. For the realised being
sees only the Self, just as the goldsmith sees
only the gold while valuing it in various jewels
made of gold. When you identify yourself with
the body, name and form are there. But when
you transcend the body-consciousness, the
others also disappear. The realised one does
not see the world as different from himself.
