Actually the above quote is about viveka-khyati --an important experience and
discrimination which can continue for quite a while, but alas is not liberation--athough
that is the next chapter (of the YS). It *is* often confused with liberation. The Self knowing
the Self is still a ways off. You may have seen the man behind the curtain Dorothy, but
there's still more to Oz than this.

Interesting description of viveka-khyati. The self continues to present experiences to Self
and more objects of awareness gain the slippery teflon coating of Love, eventually
absorbed by Self.
