Mr. N. Subba Rao: The
Visishtadvatins say that Atma Sakshatkara (Self-Realisation) is preliminary to
Paramatma Sakshatkara (God-Realisation). The difficulty seems to be
considerable.
Maharishi: What is Atma Sakshatkara? Are there
two Atmas that one realises the other? There are not two selves. First get Atma
Sakshatkara and then judge what follows.
Devotee: The Bhagavad Gita says there is God
whose body is made up of all the souls.
Maharishi: All are agreed on the
annihilation of the ego. Let us get to business on the agreed point.
Nanajivatva (different individualities) are mentioned by some Advaitins also.
All that is immaterial to one’s spiritual uplift. First realise the Self and
then see what lies further.
