Dr. Hand asked, “Is there not individuality? I fear to lose my individual being.”
Sri Maharshi, “Why fear to lose individuality? What is your state in dreamless sleep? Are you conscious of your individuality then?”
Dr. Hand, “It is possible.”
Sri Maharshi, “But what is your experience? If the individuality be there would it be asleep?”
Dr. Hand, “That depends on the interpretation. What does Maharshi say?”
Sri Maharshi, “Maharshi does not speak for your experience. He does not force anything down your throat.”
Dr. Hand, “I know. That is what I like so much about the Maharshi and his teachings.”
Sri Maharshi, “Do you not really take great care to get sound sleep? Do you not prepare your bed carefully? And are you not anxious to lose your individuality in deep steep? Then why fear it?”
One visitor asked him, “How can one root out the sex idea?”
Sri Maharshi’s reply was, “By rooting out the false idea of the body being the Self. There is no sex in the Self.”
The visitor again asked, “How is one to realise it?”
Sri Maharshi said, “Because you think you are the body,you see another as the body. Difference in sex arises. But, you are not the body. Be the real Self and there is no sex.”
