I'm not sure that there is any such thing but..... my self-realization, if I could call it that, appears to be on a much 'lower' level than that of the protagonist of the book discussed in these conversations.<br />What do others think? Perhaps self-realization can be anything from the very ordinary 'chopping wood, carrying water' (Lao-Tzu) to the less ordinary extrasensory, peak, transcendent experiences.

Permit me to address you in a shorter name ;...Sri <br /><br />Permit me to address you in a shorter name ;) <br /><br />Yes - as you said, attainment of a higher realm is merely a goal like any other, except here, it is free from a materialistic objective! <br /><br />About self-realization, I believe that it is an ongoing process, one which is furthered by experience, thought process and will! To assume that one cannot realize his self until death is incorrect, don't you think? <br /><br />Death brings about a culmination in the process of reflecting upon the happenings of life entirely! Self-realization can occur, and does occur, when one is alive, for instance to understand and transform onself and one's behaviour as a result of an experience is a sure form of lively experience! <br /><br />The realization that happens post death is one of reflection to understand the lesson that that particular life had to impart! <br /><br />Thanks very much for your thoughts! And no person is too young or old to talk about spirituality! <br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />RakeshRakesh Vanamalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918768913569739758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28800572.post-50504795604199257482009-09-24T11:48:13.563+05:302009-09-24T11:48:13.563+05:30Praveen
