Self-Realization

~~OM~~

Self-realization is our true nature, it is the simplest of the simplest, and we just have to wake up to it.

~~Michael Medua

Self-realization is the sure knowledge that I am nothing and God is everything!

~~Bruno Brunner

Self Realization is indefinable, unknowable, an experience.

~~Charu Jagat

I think self-realization is realizing God (self)(Brahman) within your cosmos and connecting the God of your inner cosmos to outer one.

~~Vinod Sharma

I think Self Realization is: I know always, every time, I am That, I am all being and all being am I.

~~Kala Chandra

If it can be described in words it could only be "neti neti". How can one describe something endless and infinite?

~~Surya

When one is self-realized there is no need of definition. How can one describe this experience? To do so is to separate from realization. It is ineffable.

~~Andrea Vecchione

Self-realization is the process of identifying (attaching to) our true nature, and thereby discarding (detaching from) our false identification(s).

~~Manoj Menon

My understanding is that Self-realization is God-realization. When the little i falls away and we recognize the big I that is in fact one with God and all creation. It is that state of experiential understanding of the truth of Oneness, not just intellectual understanding.

~~Sadumaa

I don't believe that self-realization can be defined without experiencing it. Even at the point of self-realization, I am not even sure that one could define it because all one could say is "it is all that is and all that is not and that is being."

~~Godavari Goris

Self-realization comes when "I" and "mine," which also could be known as the little self, disappear or are absorbed into the Self that is All in All, the Supreme Self. At that moment, all that exists is Self, which is God/dess, but transcends even this designation. There are no more designations, no separation, no this and that, no either or, all is One.
