The Self is God

D: Who then is God?

Bhagavan: The Self is God. 'I AM' is God. If God be apart from the Self, He must be a Selfless God, which is absurd. All that is required to realize the Self is to be still. What can be easier than that? Hence atma vidya [Self-Knowlegde] is the easiest to attain.
