Realization...


Realization is nothing to be gained afresh; it is already
there.

All that is necessary is to get rid of the thought 'I
have not realized'.

Stillness or peace is realization.

There is no moment
when the Self is not.

So long as there is doubt or the feeling
of non-realization, the attempt should be made to rid oneself
of these thoughts.

They are due to the identification of the
Self with the not-Self.

When the not-Self disappears, the
Self alone remains.

To make room, it is enough that objects
be removed.

Room is not brought in from elsewhere.


- Sri Ramana Maharshi

Are you familiar with Emanuel Swedenborg?

Yes, I have read his words, but, Swedenberg was still trapped within the Duality of ego and Self..

He saw judgements of the ego , never realizing that the ego is an illusion..

He is best know for his book called 'Heaven and Hell'
