The essence of Self-Realisation

                                       
                         To be established in Self Knowledge is a worthwhile goal and to live the perfect example of a Self-Realised being is equally important.The Divine Light that shone from the lives of Self-Realised beings are examples enough for us to realize that the blaze of light that radiates from the state of Self-Realisation has the ability to transform each and every lone individual with the Light of Lights. The life of a Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Sanjaya Sai Baba, Paramhansa Yogananda, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, J.Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharshi, Aurobindo, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Swami Vivekananda, Shivapuri Baba and of the present age someone like a Sri Sri Ravishanker,Mr. Eckhart Tolle, Dr.Wayne.W.Dyer, Mr.Dipak Chopra has proven that the state of Self-Realisation can transform a life of sadness to happiness, a life of sorrow to joy, can overhaul someone profane to sacred, has the powers to convert a sinner to a saint and is the only antibiotic on the planet to help a failing world by healing it completely. The light that shines from the state of Self-Realisation, from the phase of God consciousness and from the Ultimate Unitarian plane is the only available antidote to unite our shattered planet and to help heal the world.


                                 A person established in Self Knowledge realizes that for every effect there is a cause. He has understood that the end to human suffering can be availed by putting an end to actions that causes any more suffering. He knows that inflicting violence through word or deed on other human beings shall boomerang into his own life. He fully comprehends the Universal and spiritual principle that one cannot escape the law of cause and effect unless and until one transcends the seventh plane to achieve freedom from the collective human consciousness of the planet.


                               A Self-Realised person is someone who is drawn by beauty that stands for great purity rather than by sensuality. Since he has transcended the human senses and has awakened to stark reality the transient and unreal can create, he has become a great admirer of beauty. That kind of beauty which is untouched, virgin and which signifies God. The beauty of a devotee of Pashupatinath, of devotees of God, of Mother Nature and of the entire manifested Universe is a great source of attraction to him.


                             The ability to grasp the Omnipresent spirit of God in the tiniest fleck of dust that rises through the air to the great majestic stars that hangs in the sky is another superhuman quality of a person established in Self Knowledge. Each and every particle of breath that he inhales and exhales through his mouth, every drop of water that flows from the Ganges down to the bay of Bengal, the metallic structure of an electric car to the steely frame of a Supersonic Concorde, each and every fibre of the tattered clothes of a pauper to the dark blue suit  the American President  dons, everything is defined by one word- Pure Consciousness. Pure Consciousness or in direct terms-God.


                    The perfect Anahatic love that emanates from the depth of a fully awake soul of a Self-Realised being draws no discriminatory lines between any individual on planet earth. His love is equally distributed to each and every living inhabitant in the World. Drawing lines of demarcation between classes and categories of people is not his cup of tea. Therefore he sees no difference between a friend or a foe, a sinner or a saint, a gigolo or a thorough gentleman, a prostitute or a perfect lady, a pauper or the richest man, the profane or sacred and a dweller living in the slums to a person living in an expensive suite in the Empire State building.


                                Realising that one is a Son of God is the next spiritual evolutionary process along the state of Self-Awareness. A person established in Self-Awareness grasps what it means to be a true Son of God and abstains from anything that does not suit the nature of a Ray of God. Realising that he is none other than a Son of God he sees the same reflection of the embodiment of God in a Bihari swindler as well as in the presence of a saint as Dr.Wayne.W.Dyer. An example of a true Son of God is someone as the image of a perfect living God like J.Krishnamurti.


                                  Next in line of the superhuman qualities of a person established in       Self-Awareness is the egoless state. He is a phonyless and an awfully genuine human being. He is no longer carried away by opposite polarities like happiness or sadness, sorrow or joy, suffering or bliss. He is already into the field of permanent and everlasting happiness with the ability to manifest his desires for anything he wants. The Soul and God, are the only two permanent reality in the entire manifested Universe  to him and an overpowering surge in love towards the One who is Infinite and Eternal is developed from this plane.  Being totally detatched from the World and not attached to it in any manner he is a man free from desires, free from even the desires for sex.


                           The quality of the most prime importance that develops from the dawn of Self-Realisation is the fully restored soul awareness. A kind of soul awareness in which he surrenders and offers no resistance to the Infinite Will of God  and accepts laughter or cry, elation or depression, tragedy or comedy in his life with the calm of his most prized soul awareness. The fully awake soul abundance of accepting everything as the Infinite Will of God converts him into the most peaceful being in the Universe. He is so fully aware that his awareness is fully intact and very alert even in the hustle and bustle and the busy traffic of Manhattan.



                       The permanent qualities of a person established in Self-Awareness makes his life everlastingly happy and fills it with great harmony. We all have a great  task at hand to awake to the unreality and strive to reach the state of the most Supreme Reality by realizing that the mortal in us dissolves, but the immortal, the human soul never dies. Our soul nature which can be reinvigorated by instrumenting spiritual exercises with the soul can reach us to the state of Self-Realisation and beyond and promise treasures unimagined of. Self-Realisation, the only goal of spiritual seekers is a worthwhile goal. Let us all strive to be loving, phonyless, genuine, free of attachment, desireless, admirers of beauty, happy and an egolessly driven individual, qualities, which after being Self-Realised might make us feel that Self-Realisation has been a goal worth attaining.
