Reaching state of self realization is the ultimate goal of human life on mother earth. Mahavira, Gautama Buddha did so and so did Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed. Even Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharshi Ramana succeeded in gaining self realization in their lifetime. Self realization is reached indulging in spirituality as detailed in Bhagavad Gita. There is no other […]
There were two aspects to practice of spirituality that people find difficult in practice. 1. Indulging in nishkama karma yoga which means indulging in karma with an unattached attitude. Most human beings ran after fruits of karma indulged. Most have a family. In the circumstances, why should one not care about fruits of karma indulged? It was necessary to […]
The biggest misnomer of present times is God can be realized going to a spiritual centre or under guidance of a spiritual master. It has rightly been said, the journey towards self realization is an inward journey having nothing to do with an external medium, a spiritual centre. As the inner journey demands our indulgence in contemplation (chintan) something […]
On mother earth, existed Mount Everest then why not every human being climbs Mount Everest or why has one not climbed Mount Everest until now! The reason is simple, human beings have been provided with free will exercising which human beings can choose their goal of life. Not necessarily the goal of all human beings is self realization! No […]
No matter how many years, decades of centuries pass, not a single individual belonging to Christianity or Islamic Dharma would succeed reaching state of self realization. The reason is apparent! Both Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed succeeded in reaching state of enlightenment, self realization by indulgence in teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita and also Upanishads (independent spiritual treatises). Both […]
To reach state of self realization I first analyzed everything relating to the spiritual world. I came to know that, initially came Lord Krishna, an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form). I was totally mesmerized, floored by life of Lord Krishna and his sermon of Bhagavad Gita. My further indulgence in spirituality led me to Sri […]
One reaches state of self realization after we negate karma to zero. The negation of karma has to be 100%. Even if a small trace of karma remains, the soul atman would need manifesting human body again. In absence of dross impurities within the need for soul atman to manifest a human body ceases to exist. Understanding law of karma […]
Both sufferings and happiness relate to manifest physical world and had no locus standi in spiritual world dominated by spirit, souls’ atmans. Journey of spirituality means removing dross impurities within soul atman. This removal of dross impurities within means undergoing different stages of sufferings and also happiness. For human beings to evolve, for life to rotate in cosmic […]
Journey of self realization is an inward journey towards the spirit, consciousness existing in our heart as soul atman. Journey of spirituality means removing dross impurities within soul atman. We have to perform requisite nishkama karma yoga to reach state of self realization. Something that needs negating karma to zero, how could it be transmitted by a self realized […]
Can we reach state of self realization indulging in books? Journey towards self realization is an inward journey towards the spirit, soul atman existing in heart. Something that is indulged via contemplation (chintan), how could we study it through books literally? Jnana wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita can never be assimilated literally. When I started my spiritual pursuit […]
The term Atma Sakshatkara simply denotes state of self realization in Hindi. After full awakening of kundalini shakti, 100% activation of brain when a seeker succeeds opening Sahasra Pushpa (thousand petalled Lotus) existing in brain behind forehead, one has Atma Sakshatkara, a one-to-one dialogue with God Almighty. This is the state of culmination of all things spiritual. After reaching […]
How long shall we keep harking on presence of self realized souls in Himalayas? In yesteryears seekers in search of cosmic truths of life went to confines of Himalayas to contemplate in isolation. In present times such a necessity does not exist. One can indulge in contemplation even in confines of home and do it very successfully. From six […]
Going to a hermitage (ashram) in present times does not serve any purpose unless we have recreation in mind. As practiced and advocated by Ramana Maharshi true contemplation (chintan) can be done only in isolation, never a place full of people, prime reason for Maharshi Ramana going to confines of Arunachala. State of self realization is reached indulging in […]
As a general rule journey toward self realization must be started early in age. Mahavira, Gautama Buddha even Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed all started in pursuit of god early in age. All wanted to unveil the hidden cosmic truths of life that lay hidden in sacred texts of scriptures of different religions of world. The earlier we start […]
Searching for a guru for self realization is meaningless. Journey of spirituality toward self realization is always covered all alone.

No external guru or spiritual master can ever help us in the […]
A master, who can help me realize self is a statement that would never be fulfilled. One who desires self realization is not the right candidate to indulge in spirituality. Spirituality, self realization is not for those who think of individual self and not the benefit of entire mankind. Self realization has been granted by God only to those […]
A self realized person reaches state of self realization after negating karma to zero. In the circumstances how can karma affect a self realized soul? Probably we understood the meaning of karma wrongly. Karma cannot be equated to physical action alone. A self realized soul even before reaching state of self realization indulged in karma nishkama karma way of […]
Once a seeker reaches state of self realization, god realization it is permanent, cannot be lost. Once the kundalini awakened fully, it could never be reverted back to its original position. A bud having bloomed into a flower could never become a bud again. If I climb Mount Everest, come down and indulge in day-to-day routines of life, do […]
Following path of karma yoga alone as expounded in Bhagavad Gita can lead to becoming a JRD Tata, not more. On the material scale, one can reach highest level of evolution but nothing compared to spiritual life, state of self realization. King Janaka (father of Sita in Ramayana) indulged in karma yoga and also jnana yoga (path of absolute […]
What do we think meditation is, something that can be learnt from books or can be imparted by a so-called spiritual teacher, preacher? The journey of meditation is an inward journey towards the spirit, soul atman existing in heart. For every single human being on mother earth indulging in spirituality, the journey would be different. As our intellect, our […]
Can anyone categorize methods of self realization into chapters, notes or any other written or oral medium for one to indulge in spirituality successfully to reach state of self realization!

Human journey post self realization is totally dependent upon the individual self, one who succeeded reaching state of self realization in present life time. After reaching stage of self realization in 1993 37 years of age I was slightly perplexed, what now. I seriously developed communion with God Almighty and asked him point-blank what now! Immediately images of […]
In present times people go by rituals unmindful of the fact that spirituality can never be indulged in an institution even if it is an ashram. To learn anything spiritually indulgence in contemplation (chintan) is an absolute must. There is no other shortcut method of indulging in spirituality to reach state of self realization. Contemplation (chintan) is definitely difficult […]
Not only self realization but entire journey of spirituality is always covered all alone. If a seeker thinks there is something that could be taught by a spiritual master, one is totally mistaken. The most a spiritual master like Maharshi Ramana or Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa could do was clarify some of our queries. Swami Vivekananda indulged in path of […]
What is self realization all about, realizing our true inner self existing in our heart as soul atman! We normal human beings dominated by ego failed to realize our true identity as a soul atman. We can realize our identity as a spirit, soul atman existing in heart only by indulgence in spirituality as detailed in Bhagavad Gita. There is […]
On path of self realization thinking in terms of detachment is a negative approach in life, similar as Gautama Buddha calling the entire world as dukhma, a place of misery is a total negative approach in life. How can the world created by God Almighty be a place full of sadness? If we failed to realize the hidden precepts […]
Ramana Maharshi was the last amongst self realized souls who existed on mother earth. Maharshi Ramana left his mortal frame in 1950. The next to manifest on mother earth is Kalki avatar himself, a messiah savior of present times. Even if Kalki avatar manifests now, would it be possible for him to render wisdom of self realization to entire […]
The goal of human life is reaching state of self realization, liberation from cycle of birth and death forever. Spiritually both self realization and liberation (Mukti) meant the same. As per Bhagavad Gita we are a spirit, soul atman manifesting human form. As a soul we manifest human form to remove dross impurities within. Of itself no soul atman […]
From spirituality point of view, the manifest physical human form does not carry much significance in the spiritual world, except for the fact that it is only in human form the spirit, soul atman within reaches state of absolute purity. Liberation from cycle of birth and death is not possible in lower forms of life. We must never forget that […]
Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita says the human life is but a medium for spirit, soul atman within to cleanse self of dross impurities within. It is beyond doubt that unless we transcend human life, we as a soul atman could never reach state of absolute purity. Reaching state of absolute purity as a soul atman means realizing self, […]
