What is the nature of the Self? – Sri Ramana Maharshi

Q: What is the nature of the Self?
A: What exists in truth is the Self alone. The world, the individual
soul and God are appearances in it. Like silver in mother-of-pearl,
these three appear at the same time and disapper at the same time. The
Self is that where there is absolutely no 'I-thought'. That is called
'Silence'. The Self itself is the world; the Self itself is 'I'; the
Self itself is God; all is Siva, the Self.

Sri Ramana Maharshi
