Self Realization

Srimad Bhagavatam

One should delight in self and remember God all the time.

In this process he/she should detach himself/herself from the material world.

This unconditional love for god must be gradually developed through the following steps:

By faith and reverence.

By inquiry into the truth.

By devotion to spiritual practices.

By serving and being in touch with great souls who have realized the self.

By taking delight in the word of God.

By shunning the company of the worldly.

By loving solitude.

By not injuring any creature.

By truthfulness.

 By studying the scriptures.

By controlling the senses.

 By overcoming passions.

 By not speaking against other religions.

  By patiently bearing the opposites of life like success and failure, happiness     
  and distress etc.

       By singing the praises of the lord.

   By living life on these principles one will develop unconditional love for God.
