' The pseudo-personality '...

What does one want to protect?

That without which nothing else has any meaning or value:

the animating presence of Consciousness, without which you cannot know or enjoy anything.

And the best way to protect anything is not to be away from it at all.

This is the purpose of spiritual practice - to remain continuously one with Consciousness all the time.

There can be no Self-realized person because where Self-realization is, the difference between self and others has disappeared and along with it, the doership and identity of the individual pseudo-personality.
