Self Realization

[Guest guest]

Self-realization means self-discovery in the highest sense of the term.

One realizes one's oneness with Guru consciously.

 

In order to realize what realization is, we first have to love our inner

Self. The second step is to love realization itself. This is the love

that awakens the soul. This is the love that illumines our

consciousness. Love and you will be loved. Realize and you will be

fulfilled.

 

Real realization cannot dawn unexpectedly. Gradually, gradually we come

to the point where we realize Guru. If one is on the verge of

realization, he will know that it is a matter of days or months or

years. Realization is complete conscious oneness with Guru. Now, if one

does not have a limited conscious oneness with Guru, how can he attain

an unlimited conscious oneness with Guru all at once?

 

Guru's-realization is infinitely higher than a mystical experience. In a

mystical experience, we feel Guru's Presence as something very sweet and

delicate, but a mystical experience is not a permanent thing. As soon as

we achieve a mystical experience, we can lose it. But Guru's-realization

we cannot lose; it is permanent. Once we realize Guru, we never lose

what we have.

"Unless man has turned away from wickedness and stopped from doing

wrong, and has entirely composed himself, and unless his mind is at

rest, he cannot gain self realization, even by means of knowledge".

Question : What should one do to become a perfect disciple?

 

Answer :

To become the perfect disciple one has to take in the complete power of

the guru and be a guru himself. But this is the highest achievement any

disciple can think of in his spiritual evolution. Sadgurus do not make

disciple rather they attempt to produce Sadguru only. They evolve the

soul of the disciple to their own level. This state is very high, and

man himself becomes a perfect disciple when he receives the capacity of

a Guru. But, before this without loosing our patience, without setting

the time-limit ourselves, without carving out a path for ourselves, as

it normally happens in the world, we should be completely surrendered to

the Guru. First of all, we should be within His aura, then come near

Him, have close bonds with Him, and gradually should do all duties given

by Him. With a bond of pure love with Sadguru one will evolve

spiritually.
