Excerpt
The man is always the Self and yet he does not know it. He confounds it with the non-self, viz., the body etc. Such confusion is due to ignorance. If ignorance be wiped out the confusion will cease to exist and the true knowledge will be unfolded. By remaining in contact with realised sages the man gradually loses the ignorance until its removal is complete. The eternal Self is thus revealed.

According to Ramana Maharshi, you are always the Self, even when you forget it and take yourself to be only your body; this confusion gradually fades, especially in the company of sages, and the eternal Self is revealed. Today, spend a moment with a person or a book that uplifts you, and notice how your view of yourself grows calmer and wider.
