SELF - How to know thy self?

Question

Who is the Self

I am the Sitter.........
when i sit walking is dormant in me
I am the walker------
when i walk sitting is dormant in me...
when i move .......
stillness is dormant in me...

When i sit, i sit as all those who sit.. just then..
all modes of sitting reside in my sitting.

When i walk, i walk as all those walking beings.
all modes and styles of walking reside in me.

When i see, i see as all those who see.
everything seen resides in me.

When i hear, i hear all who hear ---
All hearing and every sound resides in me.

I taste as all who eat, at that moment --
i am the eater of all food, and am eaten also.

In my sitting i am awake, i do not have to think
of all those others residing in my sitting.

When walking, i walk i am present in my walking.
i do not think of the countless beings who are walking.... just then.

Sleeping, i sleep as all sleepers, i am awake to myself.
Conscious of myself, all who are awake are awake in me.

I am the Self, residing in myself --- or all unknown
I exist in all those who think they are the actors and doers.
yet am not known by them ... all in me --- I in them all.

Dormant in them, their minds asleep, they do not know me.

Very nice.


' To  Know thy self '  is - to know  ' who am I '  . 
This is enlightenment  . It is not neither an object  nor a subject. It is more of a process than the object and subject . i. e,  When differences between the seeker and Sought vanish and we are able to realize that there is only One.  It is the highest stage in spirituality .

Thank u.

Equally valid is what the Self is?  The separate self is an idea with the power to create dreams.    

A Self cannot be known and yet, in contradiction, is experiencing in the nothingness of that idea.  The self idea fulfills the desire or need to be.  The imagined needs create and fill the false self in its own idea mold.  This ideology of ego creates a separation between it and all existence; wholeness.  There are no you in the world you are the world experiencing in dream.  The ancient Hindu called it Maya; illusion.  

Fears not, wake up and just be; after all it is already the case.  If needs be, be creativity.

Beautiful. Who is the self? The one doing the thought, the body, the world, nothing at all? Maybe its everything and we are only living in the delusion of the senses, as Einstein thought.

One can not light the match if it is damp. Our senses are damp with too much indulgence and can not find light the fire of wisdom in this Era!

I think,
it is not a question of how,
it is rather becoming aware and conscious about the existential reality.

how do you truly know anybody?
you study them; you have a relationship with them; you get onto their heads and see what makes them tick; you get into their being and experience what it's like to be them.
now do that with yourself.
