"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Who Does Not Know?

Sri Ramana Maharshi
17-2-1946 Afternoon

In the evening Kasiamma's party again came to B and after parayan sang a few stotras. Before leaving, Kasiamma approached B and stood before him for a few minutes, during which B was looking and yet not looking at her. 

Then the lady asked B, "May I have from Bhagavan's lips some words on svanubhava or personal experience of self-realization?" Bhagavan kept quiet and after a few minutes K and her party took leave and went away. 

After she went, B remarked, "She was herself singing about svanubhava so far. Not that she does not know. She wants to hear about it from me."

सर्वानुग्राहकत्वेन तद्स्म्यहं वासुदेवः॥

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
