WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME SELF – REALISED

 

We are not the body because our body is continuously changing. Body cannot be true. Truth does not change continuously. Just as a man casts off his worn out clothes and puts on new ones, so also the embodied-Self casts off its worn out bodies and enters others which are new. The Jiva removes the outermost layer (Physical body) at the time of death. At the time of death the body dies but the Soul remains. The Soul is the eternal Atma. This is the truth.

 

When we see the world with our eyes, the world around us becomes seen and our eyes the seer. But without the aid of mind, eyes cannot see. So now the eyes along with the world around become seen and the mind becomes the seer. Bu if there is no existence of consciousness or Self, the mind is non-living. So the Self is the main subject without which the existence of the mind along with the eyes and world around us is non-living and worthless. So the consciousness is the ultimate seer and all other matters are seen. The consciousness is the ultimate cause of all effects.

 

During Durga Puja, murtis of the goddess are made from clay and during immersion, the murtis become clay again. Similarly, originally we have come from consciousness. We are different in colour, shape, and name. But when we merge with our origin (consciousness) we become one.

 

Thoughts about worldly matters make us restless and thoughts about Spirituality make us calm and quiet.

 

By continuous thinking about the Self, our mind becomes silent and stops thinking. When you filter your thoughts, you will come to a single thought. When that single thought vanishes you stop thinking. This is the point when we will realize the Self. It may take a long time, or it may happen within a fraction of a second. The light can come within us removing all ignorance. This is called Self-realization. It does not matter how much time we pass in front of the murtis of god and goddess. The main thing is whether we can think about the Divine or not, whether we have realized him or not. Then and then alone Oneness will be achieved. You will merge with the Divine.

 

Be blissful.
