Atman (Soul)
Art & Science of Meditation
to the inner depths of the mind, be in deep concentration and in a meditative state. By working hard and passionately, and keeping this goal in mind, after a very long time, we can achieve self-realization and experience, feel the presence of the soul.
How to recognize that a person is on the threshold of self-realization?
The person has developed complete harmony of his emotions, intelligence, behaviour, perception and attitude. Whatever he says he does sincerely. There is no difference between his thoughts, emotions and behaviour. He is very simple, very truthful, very peaceful, very pure at heart, very honest and truly divine. He is living a pure and divine life, and he loves and care for everybody. He has lots of sympathy, empathy and compassion for everyone. He speaks nothing but truth and he is absolutely non-violent. His consciousness has expanded, his intelligence and energy has developed more then what it was, his true knowledge of his own Self (Atman) has also expanded and he is enjoying himself a lot. He is a true saint.
