The Self Realization
the following manner-3 hours to devotion, 3 hours to doing religious acts, 3 hours to food and bodily nourishment, 3 hours to education and learning, 6 hours to sleep and 6 hours to the care of his family and social life if he is a householder. And one who has renounced the world should be absorbed in thoughts of Self-realization and should control his mind from passions and prejudices. The only path to self-realization or soul's liberation consists in realizing the self as completely different from the body and the worldly attachments. The soul is free and pure, enlightened and immortal. Man should keep his eye on death and utilize every moment of his life in realizing his goal of liberation. One may be a prince or a pauper, but all should know for certain that they are guests of death. The adoption of the path of non-violence in thought, word and deed, the intense desire for Self-liberation and for acquisition of right knowledge and experience for the same, the searching out of an enlightened, self-realized Guru and the undaunted obedience to his advice, self-control in food, talk and other behaviour, keeping clear of all sins, purity all round, observing honesty and justice in worldly life, curtailment of worldly activities in order to lead a really happy and self-meditative life, keeping in mind the principles of health, purity, magnanimity and duty, keeping company of the good and the wise as a powerful method of maintaining purity of mind and body-are some of the invaluable advices given by Srimad Rajachandra to men, women, and children in all walks of life, the advices which everyone should think over before his daily round of duties.
