Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Dear Manoharji: Those are good questions. I will forward your question to the Advaitin list as well which you may wish to join. Various scriptures have answered these questions. How a Jivan Mukta helps, there are testimonies of various devotees of Sri Ramana, and you can read those accounts. As far as how one recognizes one's own realization, that is a wonderful question as well! Welcome to the Sangha Love to all Harsha _____ mmnarayan49 [mmnarayan49] Sunday, May 09, 2004 3:56 PM self realisation I have some understanding of the non dualistic philosophy as propounded by Sri Ramana Mahrishi and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. But my questions to like-minded aspirants as well as monks of different orders of monastic life in India as to the indications of a Jeevanmukta have so far drawn a blank. How does one recognize a Jeevanmukta? How does a Jeevanmukta help spiritual aspirants in the matter of realisation? How does one recognize one's own self-realization when it occurs? Answers to these queries would set at rest some of my confusion. Love. Manohar Mohan Narayan /join "Love itself is the actual form of God."
