"Self is within and without, above and below, all over and over all."----Sri Sri Babathakur

Sri Sri Babathakur the tattvabetta or the authority on tattva ( the Absolute-Reality ) is proclaiming that the only substratum or background for the entire creation is the Self and nothing else. Anything other than Self is illusory and not real i.e. modification of Self which is superimposition of something non existent on eternal y existent Self.
Owing to very very deep oblivion about Self the jiva or the monads ( here common people ) find themselves to be aliens to Self. In reality this is not the case. Sri Sri Babathakur reiterates that monads or jiva can usher in their lost memory of Self-hood gradually through sincere and dedicated practice of constant remembrance of their real nature the Self, under the guidance of a perfect Realize r, the Sadguru. It may be difficult but never impossible, He confirms.
The Self symptomatizes as the Real-I of all jiva or monads. He says that it is impossible for anybody to make even a single sentence about himself without using I ( the ego ) which is nothing but an infinitesimal part of the Real-I or the Bhooma or the Self.
Sri Sri Babathakur confirms that Self is the basis of the phenomenal world, the spiritual world and the causal state which are nothing but stages of becoming on the bosom of ultimate being the Self. His unique formula is Self on Self, Self in Self, Self for Self, Self by Self, Self of Self, Self to Self, Self with Self, Self from Self and beyond, beyond. That is Self is within and without, above and below, all over and over all.
