Self-Realisation is realising that there is no separate self to realise or not realise. It is thus the Total dropping of the idea of the story concerning an individual or limited self-identity. In the dropping of the idea of a limited self the limitations associated with it also drops. The restrains that the limited self identity was suffering from tends to dissolve thereby leading to the birth of wisdom and of clarity. The realisation of the Truth or Self helps in understanding that there is no-one that has realiaed or not-realised. That which Truly Exists is ever realised. The eye cannot see the eye without the help of a mirror. Similarly, the Truth sees Itself in the mirror of the mind. The separation of the subject or the seer from the object of seeing or the sought leads to the emergence of duality and multiplicity. Self-Realisation leads to the breaking of the mirror. It thereby frees one from the set of conditioning and belief systems to which one was so closely related to. These conditioning and belief systems impinged on us by social and cultural systems creates the false sense of identity, values and beliefs. The realisation of One's True Nature frees one from such self created burden and thereby helps in generating a sense of free-flow and surrender. Peace and Love perfumes from the Self Realised Being which echoes throughout the universe. The language of the Self is Silent, yet again it is the most eloquent form of conversation to the ears that is ready to hear. The experience of Self-Realisation is irreversible in nature. It takes time for the fruit to become ripe. Once ripened it just falls from the tree spontaneously without any extra effort or intervention. Thus, Self-Realisation is effortless and spontaneous in nature. The water is always available under the ground. One only needs to bore deep into it to let the water gush out spontaneously and effortlessly. One thus needs to dive deep inside oneself to reach the Source of One's Very Being. The inner journey to One's True Self is the destination Itself. One is always That which one seeks from moment to moment. The understanding of The True Nature of Oneself and not depending on the body-mind identity to which one is closely related to helps in both arriving and also in getting established as The Truth that One is Really Is. The Truth is timeless, dimensionless and changeless in nature. States like waking, sleeping, dreaming and even the transcendental happen over It as It. It remains unchanged. It remains as the Seer or Witness of the states. Time and Space rest inside That as That without having any separate existence. The Self or Atman or Brahman has neither any separate birth or death. It is thus birthless and deathless in nature. It's Nature is Freedom and Profound Happiness which gets reflected from the Being.
