#selfrealization — Public Fediverse posts

Also known as #Self-Realization. Some simple thought experiments based upon backing up from #Earth visually in your #mind further and further until you can no longer see it and keep backing up until you back up all the way out of the entire #universe. Did anything happen?

To the West, #self-realization sounds like nihilism because the West does not embrace Infinity. The West likes to talk big shit but it's totally physically addicted. The West is externally focused entirely including its religious practices. Everything is out out. God is everywhere. Including the in.

#John14:20 #Self-realization These are synonyms. "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you." Author didn't understand as well as #MissKitty. It's the very #moment, not the day. Sure, a manner of speaking, but we are allowed to be precise without apology. #Faith

Samsang — Live 2-hour Recurring Sunday Satsang on Zoom

Samsang — a word that says it all. The endless cycle of worldly entanglement, desire, and becoming. But is there a way out? Or is that even the right question?

Beginning this Sunday, I am opening a live, recurring weekly Satsang (Samsang) on Zoom — a two-hour open space every Sunday from 4 pm to 6 pm IST, where genuine seekers can bring their questions on spirituality, philosophy, consciousness, and the art of living. No lectures. No prepared talks. Just honest, direct inquiry — question by question, seeker by seeker.

This is not a course. This is not a performance. It is simply a space where the most important questions in life get the attention they deserve.

Monthly subscription: ₹449. Register via the Google Form below. Upon payment confirmation, the Zoom link will be sent to your registered email.

See you Sunday.

The first time I met the first #Yogi I met in person, I asked about it and they frowned at me & told me to not go into those things. I understand it pretty thoroughly today. Conceptually I think I understand what has to be achieved for it to occur. Not full #self-realization but farther than Kitty.

I believe #meditation is a gateway to higher #intelligence and #capacity. I don't have the #discipline to make a serious run at #self-realization. It's just not there. I can't sit still that good even though I've worked at it on and off for decades. But it has helped me. Fighting for it. Time 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️

The yogis call it #Self-Realization. They can't prove it, but a lot of people believe them. When you start to examine the #space, an #essential #unity begins to present itself. The next time you can remember to do so, walk into a room and don't look at the objects. Look at the space and don't think.

The “I” That is Seeking Liberation is Unreal: “All Are Appearances in and of Awareness” — Advaita, Gaudapada & the Seeker Who Never Was

A friend messaged “All are appearances in and of awareness” in reply to my poem “Big B” – https://selfrealization.blog/2026/04/13/big-b/.

I responded back as follows:

With such perfect understanding already in place, are you sure I might have anything else to add to that. Really, what you wrote just now is all the knowledge one needs to undertake and finish the spiritual journey with no need for any other prop. The very looking for other props is itself the obstacle to the full manifestation of the understanding that is already there…shit, one knows one has to just “keep quiet” and everything will be accomplished and yet why are we all restless?

“Sitting quietly, doing nothing;
Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.”

~ Matsuo Basho

This (“All are appearances in and of awareness”) is all that the name-and-form analogy of the clay and pot conveys albeit in different words.

The only problem then for you and I might be that we are failing to grasp that the I that is seeking to understand and attain self-realization is itself an “appearance in and of awareness”.

Which is why Ashtavakra Gita and Gaudapada’s Verse 32 in Chapter 2 of Mandukya Karika (see below) and Sankaracharya’s Nirvana Shatakam say what they say.

Mandukya Karika 2.32 (Vaitathya Prakarana) asserts that from the standpoint of Absolute Truth (Paramartha), there is no creation, destruction, bondage, liberation, or seeker. This famous verse highlights that all dualistic experiences are illusions, and the ultimate reality is non-dual (Advaita), often interpreted as the unborn, unchanging Self. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Sanskrit Verse (2.32):

न निरोधो न चोत्पत्तिर्न बद्धो न च साधकः ।न मुमुक्षुर्न वै मुक्त इत्येषा परमार्थता ॥ ३२ ॥

na nirodho na cotpattirna baddho na ca sādhakaḥ |na mumukṣurna vai mukta ityeṣā paramārthatā || 32 ||

Translation & Key Meanings:

• na nirodho: There is no destruction.
• na ca utpattiḥ: There is no creation or origin.
• na baddhaḥ: There is no one in bondage.
• na ca sādhakaḥ: There is no one practicing spiritual disciplines.
• na mumukṣuḥ: There is no seeker after liberation.
• na vai muktaḥ: There is no one liberated.
• iti eṣā paramārthatā: This is the Absolute Truth. [1, 2]

Significance:

• Non-Dual Reality: This verse by Gaudapada clarifies that the ultimate reality is entirely free from all dualistic concepts, including the processes of spiritual seeking or the state of liberation itself.
• Context: It comes within the context of analyzing the “unreality” (Vaitathya) of the world and the mind, noting that when knowledge of the Self is attained, all mental projections disappear.
• Absolute vs. Relative: While relative existence appears as a world of change, from the ultimate standpoint, no change ever occurred, as explained on VivekaVani and Tom Das. [1, 2, 6]

#MissKittyVeryWide Yes, #black #holes are #conscious. That is your visible #self-realization. All the matter is consumed apparently leaving nothing but it is the most dense reality of all and not even there. You see an effect of energy that is all. What can your eyes actually contain of #infinity?

I fully expect to keep identifying patterns and #making #time #stand #still. Every time a pattern is broken, time slows down. One of the reasons I'm going to live so long. It just looks like it. Time is slowed down for #MissKitty. She is on the way to #self-realization. #John 14:20. In that day. 💙💙💙

But I know what I'm working on. #Guru says that #projection can be part of #sadhana, spiritual practice with deep focus, along the way. So I am projecting into the world even though my final #mission is to withdraw from it completely, consciously. #Self-Realization.

When the truth is clearly perceived, the ‘I-thought’ (the idea of self existence—for anything other than the Essence) falls away.…Anything which can be named is merely an alias for one thing: that Essence.”
