The truth is, you need nothing. Understand how the above statement is true - All thoughts about who you are are false. The one who desires is actually a thought-based, a thought-created entity. Thoughts create a self-image. Only thoughts give you an identity. Without thoughts, there's no egoic individual self, no ego. You think you know yourself? No you know only thoughts. So whatever you feel you are, you are actually not. Whatever you think you are, you are not. Until thoughts are real in your experience, you don't know yourself. Who you truly are cannot be confined in thought. Only the self-image that is thought-created, and is therefore false — desires. Your true self cannot desire. You need nothing. As you know yourself, all thoughts about yourself dissolve. That's a real indicator of knowing the true Self, a sign of realisation.
