Query:
Your statement only two individuals achieved self-realization in the last 150
years is incorrect. What of Paramahansa Yogananda, Shri Yukteswar, Lahiri Mahasiya?
Vijay Kumar:
As many human beings
in the world... as many chains of thoughts can there be. Every human being has
been endowed with the special power of discrimination that distinguishes one from
animals. Mounted with this power of discrimination... the Wisdom gained through
scriptures... the ephemeral knowledge we gain from books... we reach our decisions!
Swami
Vivekananda... the famous disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa clearly admitted
in his life that he was never after gaining enlightenment. But his disciples...
the masses... his faithful followers do not agree on this point! They live in
a make-believe world of their own as most human beings do. Swami Vivekananda was
always after community service!
In
his famous book "Autobiography of a Yogi"... some excerpts clearly define
the depth of Wisdom gained by Paramhansa Yogananda. One simply cannot be misled.
One who has witnessed the power of sun can never mistake in identifying the power
of a bulb or a candle. Paramhansa Yogananda did not achieve the stage of self-realization
in his lifetime!
This
is apparently and very clear in his writings! Reaching the stage of self-realization
is not that easy a task! Hardly one or two persons in about hundred years or so
reach this stage! It has been rightly said that in the last about 150 years only
Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana reached the stage of self-realization.
The
followers of Sri Aurobindo always believe that Aurobindo reached the stage of
self-realization in his lifetime. On the contrary Sri Aurobindo has mentioned
many times in his writings that he failed to reach the stage of self-realization
and this fact he deeply regretted in his life. Many spiritual masters tried their
best but could not make it in their lifetime!
To
believe or not to believe it is the sole prerogative of every human being! The
absolute truths... the spiritual facts can never be belied! Standing on the second
floor of Empire State building we simply cannot hope to view the entire city of
New York! We definitely need to climb to the top by full awakening of our Kundalini
in its entirety!
I am not cutting
across the statement of an individual... I simply mean what I say! Having reached
the Mount Everest of spiritual life... I have nowhere else to go! A simple glance
at the teachings of a spiritual master proves the level one achieved in lifetime!
Life in the spiritual domain is not governed by the facts of the ephemeral world!
Spirituality
is directly governed by faith in God Almighty... similar as we feel the presence
of a flower simply by its fragrance! None has seen God Almighty... yet most believe
in him! It is faith and only faith in God Almighty that sometimes makes us see
beyond the workings of the ephemeral world. Absolute belief in God Almighty is
believing in self... the real self of us!
Self
realization can only be gained after full awakening of the Kundalini! The moment
our Kundalini awakens fully... the Shahastra Pushpa within our brain opens in
its entirety. This is a moment of no return! None who has reached this stage can
gain self-realization! The moment the Shahastra Pushpa within our brain opens
up fully... our brain gets activated hundred percent!
Albert
Einstein was the only scientist in the world who used his brain about 4%. Most
human beings... the commoners barely use their brain beyond 1%! It is by full
awakening of the Kundalini one reaches the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi (the state
of nothingness)... when one can have dialogue with God Almighty on one-to-one
basis and that t0o permanently!
Having
realized self... having gained absolute purity... the liberated soul atman has
nowhere else to go but gain salvation (moksha) in this very life! Having liberated
forever... the purified soul atman gains permanent entry into the kingdom of God
(aka Baikuntha in Hinduism)... a point of no return! Regaining the lost pure pristine
original form announces the end of the journey for the soul atman! One finally
transcends all barriers of ephemeral life.

Your statement that only two individuals have acheived self-realisation in the
last 150 years is incorrect. You have failed to mention at least a half dozen
others; such as Paramahansa Yogananda, Shri Yukteswar. Lahiri Mahasiya, to mention
but three.
