What is self realization?(Self realization means a lot in our lives)

 

There is not a jot of doubt that mediation must be done without any expectation. Because, in this journey everyday is a new day, new experience, new life, new light passes through in our journey. It is also true that by consistent meditation there is a chance to connect with the almighty. Though the definition of almighty differs from man to man, yet the motto is same; to connect with the supreme power yet without any expectation in return.

Most of the time we are demotivated in practicing meditation. Because, it is very easy to say to practice meditation without any expectation. But it is that much difficult too when we do not feel any change in us by practicing meditation even on regular basis that to for months or sometime for years. Where is the drawback? The main concern here is the quality, not the quantity. We always start counting for how many hours a day and since when we have been practicing it. But we never realize whether we have given the best time of ours for it. Are we practicing it as priority or as a routine?  There is not smell of surrender. When we surrender, we realize we know nothing. In contrary we feel, we know a lot and given our level best for it.

We presume, we are at the verge of controlling everything. We do not know ourselves clearly. But we are trying to know others. We do not have right control on us. But we are trying to control others. We do not have self discipline. But we expect the same from others. We nigher know the creatures nor the creativity of this world well. But we are trying to know the creator of the world. We do not dare to love the creatures of almighty unconditionally. But we proclaim we love god. Most of us are self-proclaimed the sole disciple of god. 

Reading books is not suffice in the journey of spirituality. Self-realization means a lot. Reading books will aid us to know what our ancestors know. But how can we test the taste of world with their tongues?  Let us walk our own journeys. It is good, we know the path to spirituality. But what have been said in books are not only ways.  Who knows you get some new way to it. Who knows you will reach to the gems which were known to be unreachable. It is a matter of dedication and devotion. The more prioritize will be spirituality   in our lives, the nearer will be the enlightenment for us. Last but not the least, reading books is not discouraged. But self realization is beyond that.
