Self Knowledge

"Self Knowledge happens when there is no Self "

People talk about and preach about Self Knowledge. Some call it Self or Truth whatever it may be, now the question should arise what is this Self Knowledge. 

What is it, knowing myself ?

But I know who I am, then what to know about My-Self. This is the question one should ask. 

Apart from this when you ask to know Self, how is that possible.How can 'A' know 'A'. 'A' can only know 'B'. There is no way for 'A' to know 'A'.


'A' knowing 'A', Is it logical?

Just ask this question to those fools who talk about or preach for Self Knowledge. 

Self or Truth cannot be known. If it was, any fool will know it. If Truth can be known, then it is no more the Truth, it becomes False. Only the False can be known.

Truth has no Knowledge. Only the False has Knowledge.


"You cannot know the Truth,

 You can only be the Truth"

Chapter 10: The Human Goal: Moksha - Story of Kotikarna

Bhikshu Kotikarna mentioned that Moksha is to understand your true nature. (अपने असली स्वरूप को पहचानना ही मोक्ष है।). However, for a majority of us the question would remain as beautifully asked by the student in Vivekachoodamani: भ्रमेणाप्यन्यथा वाऽस्तु जीवभावः परात्मनः तदुपाधेरनादित्वान्नानादेनार्श इष्यते॥ अतोस्य जीवभावोऽपि नित्या भवति संसृतिः न निवर्तेत तन्मोक्षः कथं मे श्रीगुरो वद॥ [- १९२ & १९३] bhrameṇāpyanyathā vā'stu jīvabhāvaḥ parātmanaḥ tadupādheranāditvānnānādenārśa iṣyate. atosya jīvabhāvo'pi nityā bhavati saṁsṛtiḥ na nivarteta tanmokṣaḥ kathaṁ me śrīguro vada. [192 & 193] That the Supreme Self has come to consider itself as the jiva, through delusion or otherwise, is a superimposition which is beginning less. That which is beginning less cannot be said to have an end ! So the jiva-hood of the Self must also be without an end, ever subject to transmigration. Please tell me, O revered Teacher, how then can there be 'moksha' (liberation) for the Self? ...
