How does meditation lead to Self-realization?
As the spiritual aspirant continues to practise meditation for several years, the duration of this ‘no-mind’ state increases. Realization of the Self starts taking place as the aspirant clearly experiences his oneness with the Self, which is the Pure Consciousness beyond the body, mind and intellect. He experiences the Bliss of the Self. When the state of Self-realization gets stabilized over the years, it is not restricted only to one’s period of meditation. Ultimately, Self-realization is a state in which the identification with the Self remains throughout, in any circumstances. The Self is experienced everywhere in the animate as well as the inanimate. Such a Self-realized soul becomes Divinity Incarnate.
