Śivācārya Dhyānāmstam : 43 Thus the state of tranquillity and silence, with neither volition nor vikalpa, is meditation. Observing the sound of So’ham with the natural process of inhaling- exhaling, thought is pacified. After all thoughts are pacified, to remain in the innate state of knower and perceiver, beyond mind, body and speech, is self-realization.
The Benediction of All
By self-realization, the practitioner gets the experience of leading relaxed, simple, tension free and every moment blissful life. The practitioner gets rid of incurable diseases, at increase in present, increase in working capacity, sweetness in mutual relations, expansion of magnanimity of heart above intellect. He experiences the feeling of welfare of the whole world or the benediction of beings. The self-realization brings benediction in one's self, in family and in universe. It leads to all-round growth of human being as well as religion of mankind and benediction of the universe.
Self- Realization facilitates the sacred path of benediction of all. Self- Realization is the bridge of the welfare of the universe with that of self. It spreads the spirit of welfare and benediction everywhere.
Self-Realization: Return to the Original State
Everything has its original state, for example, that of water is coldness. To heat up the water one has to make effort. Put it on the fire. We have to make some external effort through electricity or the heat of sun to make the water hot. But again it will return the original state after effort is withdrawn. What is the original state of Water? Coldness. Similarly, what is the original state of fire? Hotness. Likewise you also have an original state, i.e. original state of your being. To return to that original state of yours is selfrealization. It is state of detached, state of knower and perceiver. Self-Realization: Powerful Means of Stability Self- Realization is prime among the rituals. Herein the practioner reaches trans-mind fast and the velocity of mind is obstructed soon.
