The Self is full of knowledge. Wherever "Consciousness" exists, the Self exists. It is the speaker, as well as the listener, and it is also the one who understands the meaning. The Self is the doer of everything. The Sun owes its status and light to the Self. If not for the Self, the Sun would never even be called the "Sun".

The Self is the creator of the universe, as well as the one who labels everything as untrue. One who realizes this, can reach the state of one's "True Nature" (Swaroopa). The transient world, which is based on good and bad concepts, continues to pass away. The knowledgeable know that it is the Self, Lord Hari (Vishnu, the sustainer), who is the doer of everything, and that it is only He, who gets everything done.

The one who experiences everything is only He, the Self, the only true experiencer.

Shri Siddharameshwar Maharaj - From a talk given June 20, 1933
