| | Self-realization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As discussed in the article on yoga, while the goal of self-realization is the same in all yoga paths, the means used to achieve that goal differ. | | | The term "self-realization" is a translation of the Sanskrit expression atma jnana (knowledge of the self or atma). | | | The Rishis (seers of truth), absorbed in meditation, saw within themselves the ultimate Reality, the self-luminous Being, the one God, who dwells as the self-conscious power in all creatures. |

| | Since the Self is the reality of all the gods, the meditation on the Self which is oneself is the greatest of all meditations. | | | The Self which is self-luminous and the witness of everything manifests itself as residing in the vijnanakosa (sheath of the intellect). | | | In the language of devotion, the final goal may be described as the resolution of the mind in its source which is God, the Self, in that of technical yoga, it may be described as the dissolution of the mind in the Heart-lotus. |

| | American path to Self-knowledge |
| | I bring you the truth that the realization of Self-knowledge is not dependent on ritual, mantras, chants, trips to ashrams in India, bathing in the Ganges, initiation, or submission to a guru; and Self-knowledge does not require that you escape from the world of activity. | | | An interesting note is that once a seeker realizes Self-knowledge she no longer needs to meditate, but she does not avoid it. | | | Much needs to be said to remove the misunderstanding surrounding the method of meditation and also its relationship to Self-knowledge. |

| | Self Realization |
| | The SELF is that divine form, and that Divine form exists within all of us. | | | The SELF is not restricted to an Ashram, temple or meditation room. | | | The awareness of the inner SELF is the only spiritual life there is. We meditate, we do Simran (repeat Gur mantra or Waheguru) because they are time-proven methods for purifying and stablizing the mind, because being given by Guru Nanak, the mantra contains His grace. |

| | What is Sahaja Yoga ? |
| | This inner awakening is called by many names: Self Realization, Second Birth, Enlightenment, Liberation, Moksha, Satori and it is the goal of all religions and spiritual traditions of the world. | | | This knowledge is ancient, but for a long time it was available only to a few souls, being kept secret and transmitted from guru to disciple, since Self Realization was extremely difficult to achieve. | | | Self Realization is the actualization of this connection with our Spirit, which as Shri Mataji advocates, is the birthright of every human being. |

| | Self-Realization Or Being Born Agaian |
| | This Divine Wind is the manifestation of the Self-Realization (Second Birth) and confirms that your experiment with Self- Realization has been successful. | | | Realization means that you should feel the actualization of baptism, the Cool Breeze coming out of your head not any priest putting water on your head and saying that now you are a Christian. | | | These then are the words which Jesus highlighted: "Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." A new birth is absolutely essential to enter the kingdom. |

| | Self Realization Fellowship |
| | Self realization then is realizing one's own dignified identity as a being created in God's own image, and going on from there by faith in Christ to become a child of God (John 1:12), in order to find our ultimate fulfillment; eternal fellowship with God. | | | Self Realization Fellowship was founded by Swami Paramahansa Yogananda and was brought to America in 1920. | | | The Christian goal of union with God is not to lose one's identity through absorption into the Divine Self. |

| | SELF-REALIZATION - WHAT IS IT? |
| | To fully realize this not just as an intellectual philosophy but as an actual experience by which one lives his daily life is what Self-realization is all about. | | | Realization of God are the leaves, and eradication of the pride of the mind is the shade (sggs 1168). | | | To put it otherwise, upon Spiritual Realization one realizes that, all along, the one-who-wanted-to-realize was the same one he has been looking for; but he did not know it! |

| | "The evolutionary step of Self-Realization is referred to in all of the great religions." |
| | Realization of this Pure Self (i.e., the "witness") is called the Traya, Chauthaa Pada or the Fourth state. | | | Again, ignorance of the Self is the cause which gives rise to plurality, finitude, doubts, limitedness, and misunderstanding. | | | The power of Kundalini is absolute purity, auspiciousness, chastity, self respect, pure love, detachment, concern for others and enlightened attention, to give infinite joy and peace to an individual. |

| | Through the path of devotion and love, Jesus attained to the realization of oneness of the individual soul with the Father or the universal Spirit, which is the ideal of a Jnana Yogi as well as the ultimate goal of all religions. | | | The duty of true religion is to broaden the human mind, to open the spiritual eyes, to lead humanity to the realization of oneness with the supreme Father in Heaven, and to repress all quarrels over dogmas and creeds. | | | Hence, in order to realize that inherent and untainted happiness, which indeed he daily experiences when the mind is subdued in deep sleep, it is essential that he should know himself. |

| | After Self Realisation these vibrations are very distinctly felt on hands and feet as a cool breeze flowing from within. | | | When Kundalini Awakening and Self Realisation has occurred, a flow of energy in the form of vibrations starts flowing from the hands. | | | The mouth stops speaking for a realized person, as the mouth can lie but the hands start speaking and bear witness as everything is revealed through vibrations and vibrations never lie. |

| | kundalini, self realization - Austin Sahaja Yoga |
| | Self Realization has always been the ultimate goal of all religions and spiritual traditions of the world, but was extremely difficult to attain in the past. | | | Self Realization is the awakening of the Kundalini through the central channel, piercing through the six chakras above the sacrum bone and emerging at the top of the head (fontanelle bone area) as a gentle "fountain" of coolness. | | | "it is most important that you should be born; you ought to come into this world- otherwise you cannot realize the self, and the purpose of this world has been missed." |
