Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 What are the symptoms of self-realization? BG 2.54: Arjuna said: O Kr & #803;s & #803;n & #803;a, what are the symptoms of one whose consciousness is thus merged in transcendence? How does he speak, and what is his language? How does he sit, and how does he walk? BG 2.55: The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O P & #257;rtha, when a man gives up all varieties of desire for sense gratification, which arise from mental concoction, and when his mind, thus purified, finds satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure transcendental consciousness. BG 2.56: One who is not disturbed in mind even amidst the threefold miseries or elated when there is happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind. BG 2.57: In the material world, one who is unaffected by whatever good or evil he may obtain, neither praising it nor despising it, is firmly fixed in perfect knowledge. BG 2.58: One who is able to withdraw his senses from sense objects, as the tortoise draws its limbs within the shell, is firmly fixed in perfect consciousness. BG 2.59: The embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness. BG 2.61: One who restrains his senses, keeping them under full control, and fixes his consciousness upon Me, is known as a man of steady intelligence. BG 2.68: Therefore, O mighty-armed, one whose senses are restrained from their objects is certainly of steady intelligence. http://vedabase.net/bg/2/en DHARMA http://japa-mala.org Call or write if you need guidance & training regarding Yoga Principles. sprouts4u Voicemail # 775-368-4002 ANYTIME FAX 775-314-3845 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
