The Experience of Self-Realization

>From Maya Yoga by Aiyer

 

Talking about the experience at the time of Realization Sri Bhagavan

said "Realization is called Vritti Jnana. You can feel your self one

with the One that exists; the whole body becomes a mere power, a force

current; your life becomes a needle drawn to a huge mass of magnet and

as you go deeper and deeper you become a mere center and not even

that, for you become mere consciousness. There are no thoughts and

cares any longer; they are shattered at the threshold; it is an

inundation ; you are a mere straw; you are swallowed alive; but it is

very delightful, for you become the very thing that swallow you. This

is the union of jiva with Brahman, the loss of ego in the real Self,

the destruction of ignorance, the attainment of truth."

 

Speaking about this on another occasion he said "After tasting such

bliss even once, one will repeatedly try to regain it. Having

experienced the bliss of peace once, no one would like to be out of it

or engage himself.
