It is the soul who by hard spiritual, disciplined life and vanishing the bondage of Karmas, becomes the Supreme Soul.
All souls are equal. The difference among souls is of Karmas and their intensity. The supreme stage is attainable by soul provided it shakes off the bondage of Karmas. A practicant of equanimity when realises true nature of his soul and merges its identity, then, his soul becomes the Supreme Soul.
The final oblation of the journey from self-realisation to Supreme realisation depends on the contemplation and mode of performance. Ideal contemplation can make up the path of years or eras in a few hours and in consonance to it, when the force of asceticism and conduct is exerted this whole journey can also be finished in a short time. Contrary to this, if awakening is lacking, self-realisation becomes difficult and even after self-realization if the pace of progress and contemplation is languid or slow, then the objective to achieve Supreme Realisation can also take a longer time or even be in-accessible. The success of equanimous discipline depends upon capacity of the accomplisher. Now it depends upon the accomplisher how dexterously he can use his scissors in the curtailment of distances and time.
A Pilgrim of the Path of Bliss:
What is real happiness? How much its durability? What kind of hilarity does it's intensity possess? How much comfortable is its experience? The correct answers of all these queries can be given only by a successful wayfare of the beatificial path of self-realisation.
