Self Realization: The Key to Achieve Long Lasting Inner Peace

Have you ever tried to figure out the concepts which revolve around self-realization?There are a large number of spiritual centers all over the world. But have we ever wondered what purpose do they serve? In today’s busy schedules we hardly get time to deliberate over these things as a result of which these questions always remain unanswered. However, you will be better off if you can squeeze some time out of your hectic schedules and understand the science behind self-realization. It will only help you and your family in the long run.



The Concept

The society and the people around you will identify you by your name, surname and by a ton of other things which you possess after you become a part of this planet. But, have you ever asked yourself this million dollar question to yourself? “Who am I?”  Self-realization is a process where you get an answer to this question. It helps you to connect with your inner soul and explore the wonders of spiritual world with utmost bliss. Through self-realization you can very easily achieve the following which people have been trying to do since ages:

1.    It is a gateway to eternal happiness in true sense of the term.

2.    Complete freedom from worries and tensions.

3.    Helps you to strike the right kind of balance between personal and professional lives.

4.    Tranquility will always be restored under all circumstances.

The six golden mantras to achieve self-realization

The job is only half done if you only have a fundamental idea about self-realization but you don’t know the ways and means to achieve it. From the standpoint of spirituality, there are six steps to achieve self-realization also known as the golden mantras of self-realization. These mantras have been explained below:

Transformation:  Self- realization is more of a spiritual process rather than a physical one hence transformation plays a pivotal role and is often categorized as the first step towards achieving self-realization. It is the willingness of a person to live beyond his physical form. It requires a lot of practice and most importantly the person should believe that he is not only physically present in this planet buthas a spiritual presence as well.

Thoughts:  They say “Our thoughts lead to actions” and this is completely true when you try to attain self-realization. Your thoughts should always be positive and any kind of negative thought will act as a barrier in achieving self -realization.

Have this belief that nothing around you is imperfect:  This is one of the most important of all the mantras. You need to believe that the universe is entirely perfect and there are no classifications or sub-classifications. All are being treated equally. This kind of thought is of paramount importance if you truly want to achieve self-realization.

Stay detached:  Attachment is the root of all worries and sorrows. Hence it goes without saying that attachment is directly proportional to the sorrows of your lives. Therefore, you should always try and stay detached as much as you possibly could.

You are one: Always have this belief of oneness and make yourself aware that there aren’t any differences. At the end of the day we all are human beings irrespective of our caste, creed or religion.

Learn to forgive more: Forgiveness is that stage where we completely give up on our grudges or wants and just free ourselves from the orbit of hatred and jealousy.


To sum up in a nutshell, self-realization is the corridor to achieve eternal happiness and you should make it an integral part of your daily lives. It has a wide reach in the world of spirituality. ‘Home at Last’ by Sarada is a popular book which gives a thorough insight into self-realization.

Know Your True Self & Get Close To the Higher Being with Cosmic Consciousness and Energy Meditation

Life is what we want it to be. The path of self realisation is the one hard to tread but fulfilling in the end! They say you can know about life only when you meet with your true self. In the book Home at Last the author has thrown light on the usually avoided path of self realisation and the difficulty one faces while treading on it. The world we live in is unknown and most of the times unreceptive towards Khalis knowledge that self realisation bestows on an individual.


What does it need to know your true self?

The cobwebs that we have spun around our lives, the worldly attire that we wear of a father/mother, son/daughter, husband/wife, employee etc.; their chains have to be broken first. One has to give up this worldly attire and clothe one’s self with the cosmic light which illuminates and enlightens the mind and soul.

Cosmic consciousness meditation can be simply defined as being in touch with the higher being. You can only be in touch with the higher being when you detach yourself from the world. Detaching from the world doesn't mean that you have to give up on your responsibilities, but it simply means to set your mind on higher things. In our stressful lives, most of our time is consumed in worrying. But, when we detach ourselves from this world, i.e. from the tensions of this world, we come in contact with the One from and in whom all things that we know and don’t know exist.

You can’t walk even a quarter with a heavy burden laid on your back. How can we, then expect to know or even come in contact with the Creator when the burdens of this world, commonly known as stress, occupies and consumes our mind? We believe in magnifying our problems and underestimating our own capabilities. To break this shackle, you need to meditate daily.

Cosmic energy meditation helps in spiritual healing. We take utmost care of our bodies, but seldom do we pay any attention to the needs of our souls. There are some cuts & bruises to which science and medicines have no answer. The cosmic energy is the ultimate energy on this earth which goes beyond this earth. It transcends space, time and life.

Treading the path of self realisation is the ultimate destiny of every individual born under the sun. We may hear our calling today or tomorrow, but one thing is for sure; without the knowledge of self, the soul deteriorates. To have a healthy life brimming with peace and happiness, you need to nourish your soul daily and indulge in meditation to reenergise, revitalise and refresh your mind and soul.
