Why We Attempt to Realize Self

 So those that have realised the truth will stand up and say, "Here is the Self," You may argue with them by the year, but they will smile at you; they will regard it as child's prattle; they will let the child prattle on. They have realised the truth and are full. 

Vivekananda

We lose nothing when we realize Self. We gain what is real.

Then alone a man loves when he finds that the object of his love is not any low, little mortal thing. Then alone a man loves when he finds that his love is not a clod of earth, but it is the veritable God Himself. Vivekananda

We also gain freedom...

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

How does Self Realizaton set us free? This realization ends fear. 

The moment the ripple [on the surface of the ocean] recognizesit is also the ocean, and more fundamentally the, ocean the fear goes.  It recognizes it cannot die.  And the Ocean recognizes Itself through this recognition of the ripple. Eckhart Tolle

The I am that I am Moses spoke about is 

Not only the essence identity of you but it is the essence identity of the universe. 

Eckhart Tolle

That's why we begin this path to Self realization.



All is well.
