Self-Realization
Self-realization is the most important goal of our lives. Everybody has to ask himself - who am I? My body, brain and mind are mine, but still who am I? Through meditation, we have to pursue this goal. We have to work hard and concentrate very well despite lots of passions. There are lots of problems and hurdles during the process of self-realization. It is possible one could develop some other abilities that normal human beings could not develop; we may see some different types of colours during deep meditation, but we have to ignore all extra-human abilities because those who used extra-intuition abilities for self-interest, will fail to achieve selfrealization. After lots of hard work, some people may be frustrated or depressed as they do not achieve this goal easily. One can not allow frustration or depression during the process of deep meditation and self-realization.
“There can be no spirituality, according to the Sufi masters, without psychology, psychological insight and sociological balance."
- Idries Shah “True change is within; leave the outside as it is.”
- Dali Lama XIV "Careful preparation is necessary before people can perceive something which is there all the time." - Idries Shah
