Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 What do we understand by the expression God -realization? God-realization or Self-realisation means discovering oneself. A self-realized person consciously realises his oneness with the Supreme Reality(Paramatma). As long as a sadhaka (seeker of Truth) remains in ignorance, he will feel that the Paramatma is somebody else who has great Divine Powers, while he himself is the weakest person on earth. But the moment he realises God,he comes to know that he and the Paramatma are absolutely one. Thus God-realisation means one`s identification with the Absolute and highest Self (Paramatma) in the world and beyond. When one can identify with the highest Self and remain in that state of consciousness at all times, that is God- realisation. The ultimate goal of life is God-realisation. God and self are synonyms for Reality which is discovered by self-realisation. Bhagawan Ramanamaharishi says,"The self is God. I am is God".G.Balasubramanian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
