Self-Realization and Other Awakenings

time you are aware that you are playing a part. You
are not really that person. It is only a part you are
playing. In the same way you are now playing a part,
but you have forgotten you are playing a part.
You think your body, the way it looks, the way it
appears, what it does, what it acquires, is real, and
you put all your energy into the game of playing the
part. This is indeed a waste of energy. Put your energy
into finding the Self that you really never lost. You can
do this by developing the qualities of love, compassion
and humility.
This is another method you have to work on. As you
are working on self-inquiry, work on the love, work on
compassion, and work on humility. Do not just practice
self-inquiry for a while, and then react negatively to
the world, and have your feelings hurt. Be yourself!
Awaken from the dream. Refuse to play any longer.
Look at yourself all day long. See the things that you
do, the thoughts that you have, the feelings that you
have. It makes no difference what situation you are
going through. It makes no difference what is going on
in your life. The only thing that matters is what is
going on inside of you.
Karmically you are put on this earth as a body, to
go through karmic experiences. Therefore, the
experience you are going through is part of the maya,
