conscious perception. Even if it is gained in a thorough state, one still requires to go on and on in order to reach the shore of the ocean. Tasting the breeze for some time he will further push himself inside the infinite ocean gaining thereby and tasting thereby the real state of everlasting peace and happiness.
2. A perfect human being is he who knows everything present in nature or in all that it has made, remaining all the time ignorant of his knowledge. He must know all branches of knowledge and sciences. If anybody asks from him about any of these, he should start telling him of what he wants to know, in a natural way.
3. The State of realisation is really a dumb state which is beyond expression. Feeling or observing of luminosity within or without is not realisation at all. It is not in fact that we are finally proceeding to, but to where there is neither darkness nor light.
4. In fact deliverance from pain and sorrow is the main pursuit of man's life.Mahatma Gandhi is said to have once remarked that "The way to realisation lies through Jail". If we take the world to be a prison house the sentence fits in quite appropriately in the spiritual sense also. In utter despair people often wish for the end of the life. But in my opinion it shall be far better under such circumstances to pray to God to bestow a life which might be parallel to death.
5. Three Obstacles in the path of Realization:
1) We try but there is no attempt.
2) There are too many things we try at a time. 3) We do not have confidence in ourselves.
6. Man's ultimate aim is the realisation of God and all his activities have to be guided by the ultimate aim of the vision of God. Religions are different roads leading to the same point. They were all God-given and were suitable for the people to whom these religions were revealed. They guided the people according to their own experiences. But as time passed on, the spirit of the teachings of these great men was neglected. The rituals are made into fetish and instruments for proving the superiority of one's religion over the other. Hence we have to discard the chaff from the grain.
