For example, once you really learn and see that 'earth is a sphere' or 'water is H2O'... that real *experimental* knowledge doesn't come and go. That knowledge stays as *real* no matter how you experience water, earth in real life! With warm regards, ac nothing is real beside infinite, formless and changeless Brahman there is no self-realisation of Brahman existing .... Brahman don't need any self-realisation of anybody .... as long the striving little ego mind is having something else than such reality in mind... .... it's possible to have some meaningless talk about the subject... .... let's go!.. .... or not! .... nobody cares! .... ....except this your little imaginary striving ego mind... ....
