relinquishing the self

If, in the spiritual adventure, you relinquish the self but do not know who you are, what is relinquished?

On the other hand, if, in the spiritual adventure, you fail to relinquish the self but do not know who you are, what is retained?

From this, assuming anyone were to entertain such questions, I think it is possible to notice that adventures come and adventures go.

Get 'er done!

Again....
