Devotee: Is God apart from the Self?
Ramana Maharishi: The Self is God. “I AM” is God. “I am the Self, O Gudakesa!”(Ahamatma Gudakesa). This question arises because you are holding the ego self. This will not arise if you hold the True Self. For the Real Self will not and cannot ask anything. If God be apart from the Self He must be a Self-less God, which is absurd
