Self Realization

Remember that you are neither the ether, the air, the water, the fire or the earth nor its subtle permutations and combinations. You are actually the pure self which is the witness of all this. You are the pure consciousness itself.

Remember that the five material elements are the gross substance which for part of the gross human body. In their subtle form they act as senses, mind and intelligence. Together these elements play their part in the material world. The self is just a witness to all that is enacted by these elements.

Remember that a vasana begins as a desire  disturbance on the intellect which in turn transfers this as a thought disturbance to the mind. This in turn is shifted to the body level and gets exhausted over a period of time. When all the residual vasanas are thus exhausted, there is no disturbance any more and so the mind and body equipment does not have any purpose of existence. And then teh individual ego awakens to realize its true identity as the pure consciousness- the self.                                                                

Remember that as an entity who has been identifying himself with the material body for millions of births, the student should first negate this existence and assert his true identity as a spiritual soul to attain self realization.

Remember that just like the sunlight illuminates the objects in a room, the self illuminates our life and activities within us and without.

Remember that identification with the material body is illusory and painful, and identification with the spirit soul is real.
