🙏Self Realization.!!!

The whole existence expresses the presence of omni present god that consists of both living and non-living things. Perhaps, among all the living beings, only we have the freedom to Think and Act!

Our mind is always busy with an endless series of thoughts and it is a great question to ask from where these thoughts originate and why we have no control over them?

Think of a successful person in your life whom you admire. Now try to see the difference between that person and you. What do you see?... Where you will find that most of the things that the successful person does are close to perfection, you are a "No" match. Our way of thinking and our focus feeds our mind. Contrary to the ideal, successful person, we start our work with excuses... IF and BUTs! This is a serious issue, since most of us never realize that unknowingly we have directed our focus from Do to NOT TO DO.

Success requires focus and no job is too small or too big. Begin with smaller goals and then work towards attaining bigger ones. Know that happiness should be the prime ingredient in your goal setting and your focus should be on your goal.

Be like a river that flows without thinking about how it will reach its destination or what path it will follow or how many rocks will come in its way... it simply flows!

One such way to understand and practice is to remove the ego of doer while working and consider it done by the omni present power. Most of the time when we are learning something new, we start with fear and endless thoughts about the end results. The fact is that, as soon as we learn the new skill it becomes old and the only thing that does not gets old is our higher self within us. Until we start to live in the present moment understanding the higher self, we cannot forget the old and can never separate the ego of doer.

We all are so busy with our daily life all throughout our lives that we never think about the reason of our existence. It Is a very personal thought, which can only be understood by self realization. But, before realizing the reason for our existence, it is Important to be self satisfied with your work and responsibilities in life. Unless, one is self satisfied he/she can never focus fully on the reason for their existence. We have the freedom to choose our source of knowledge. Learning the right way of self realization will lead us to happiness in life.

Self Realization

Most of us identify the Self with body and mind and therefore find it difficult to equate God with .the Self. Simply equating God with the Self can sound like sacrilege or the product of a megalomaniac. But when the Self is explained as pure Awareness, which means without thought and individual identification (ego) of any kind, then it is clear that megalomania and sacrilege is not really an option because that will require an ego. Understanding the Self as pure awareness bring us closer to the understanding of self realization. If the self is our awareness, then all we have to do to realize the self is to quiet our thinking. Where there is no thinking, there is no ego. Where there is ego, there is the self. After all, we do not really cease to exist when we cease to think.

This condition of being aware of one's self reveals ones own eternal being. Since god is pure awareness and our self is pure awareness, the two really compare as the water drop compares to the large body of water. Thus, while it is not correct to say the self is god, it is correct to say that the self has the same qualities as god and is no way different. God and the self can only be understood as omnipresent awareness.

Since the self is already there at the center of our being, self awareness is actually a more correct term than self realization because realization implies a first self that could realize another, second self. However, there is only one self and to realize the self means to BE that self. Only the ego can speak of realizing the self but only the self can be the self. The trick lies in distinguishing the Real (the self) from the unreal (the ego) and that is accomplished entirely by moving our attention away from the unreal and keeping it focused on the real, the experience of WHO AM I?

Truth becomes lies and life becomes compromise
Nothing looks clear since our life is full of fears!
But I see the light in the sky trying to find out WHO AM I?
Looking back to see where am I?
Just listen to that inner voice!
Now time to rejoice, self realization is my choice!
