Questin: So long as one retains a trace of individuality one is a seeker still – said Ramana Maharishi. What does this mean?
Sri Prabhuji :
All seeking is for the sake of attaining fullness (purnatva). Fullness can be realized only when the non-duality is realized. When the subject object duality disappears in realization of Brahman, the individual ceases to exist – only Brahman remains. In that realization, seeker is no more there. Seeker (jiva) has become one with the sought (Brahman) like river merging with ocean. When river merges with ocean, there is no more river – only ocean remains. As long as individuality is there, merger has not happened, seeker continues.
