Robert Adams „A Sage has absolutely no teaching to give you. If you want to have a teaching, you’ll have to go to a spiritual teacher, a yogi, a meditation master. But a Sage never has a teaching to give you whatsoever. The idea is to just be in the presence of the Sage, that does the teaching. A Sage does not teach tantric yoga, kundalini yoga, hatha yoga, raja yoga, laya yoga or anything else. For all teachings are from the mind. Where else would they come from. They are all mental concepts. The Sage is beyond the mind, beyond the mental concepts. So how can a Sage give a teaching? A Sage is absolute reality, pure awareness.“

Sri Ramana Maharsi (Maha Yoga, Ch.8) The sage does not ‚know‘ the Self, because he is the Self.
