If self-realization is of prime importance in life then must he experienced inexpensively and with ease. And if it is not inexpensive and easy to feel, it must not to be of vital necessity for life. This is a logically discernible fact. This law is sensed everywhere and it seems that the whole universe is governed by it. The elements and commodities which are vital for sustaining life are available without efforts and cost. Elements and commodities which are comparatively not of that vital necessity can be availed with higher cost and arduous efforts. This is the order prevailing in nature.
Clothes, food, water and air are greater importance than each earlier and still however these are available with fewer efforts and less cost, respectively. Life is impossible without air; it is priceless and available everywhere without efforts. And that arrangement is made by nature itself. How precious the air is for sustaining the life!
As the subtly of element is comparatively higher, its essentiality and pervasiveness is greater. As the essentiality and pervasiveness are greater the scope of availability is the easiest. And as the availability is easier it is more precious. Preciousness simply means that its value cannot be estimated. Its value is immeasurable/inestimable and that is why it is available without cost.
Self realization is very much essential. But who has to experience it? Atma-self-is the essence of consciousness. It perceives inert objects. Then why should the essence of consciousness realize again the essence of consciousness? Through which way? That essence is well settled in itself.
The self-realization is always and forever perceivable. It is perpetual.
Realization is eternal, perpetual and easily experienced. Hence it gives an impression (illusion) that it is not attainable. Its surety is only possible if required necessary understanding is developed. Inert or material object is not useful to perceive.
In the state of dream, meditation or in any other state, the vision of deity, light (Jyoti) or different sound can be heard or experienced, or mystic powers are attained. But what of that? What difference dose it make in life? What specialty (characteristic) can it create ? It gives pleasure for time being as if one sees the beautiful movie. But one remains the same as he was. It happens like that with above experiences. This is not real self-realization – Atma-sakshatkar.
The realization envelopes the entire life and changes the whole life. There is a compromise-all the disputes are settled-in life of realized soul. It becomes utmost satisfied.
To experience or to perceive things which are availed with very much arduous efforts, requires the help of the other. Similarly that which is too easy to gain also cannot be understood or experienced without somebody’s help. The perception of the same can be developed with the help of his experts only. And one who bestows the blessing to perceive it is recognized as ‘Sadguru’.
One should not forget that the Atma Sakshatkar – self-realization of self-is inestimably, immeasurably easy and hence it gives the impression that it is not possible. It is very much there.
