There is the wrong notion that the body is apart and the Self is confounded with the body.

Devotee: What I want is realisation. I do not feel my inherent happy nature.

Ramana Maharishi:  Because the Self is now identified with the non-self. The non-self too is not apart from the Self. However, there is the wrong notion that the body is apart and the Self is confounded with the body. This wrong identity must be ended for happiness to manifest.
