The Ultimate Truth about Self-realization
Man is the supreme figure among living beings.
He is superior to all other creatures in the world, because he alone has the sixth sense.
This sixth sense gives him the capacity to realize and understand the functions and results
of all the manifestations in the universe.
When the sixth sense develops to a certain level, the quest for realizing the self blossoms.
This aspiration takes the shape of the question, "Who am I?"
When this question arises in one's mind, then it indicates that the individual is mature
enough for self-realization.
Until a man realizes Self, he cannot get peace of mind because the mind, filled with such
a quest, cannot secure proper satisfaction from any other contact or enjoyment.
Therefore, the realization of Self becomes an essential need for developed souls.
Man is composed of four phenomena: body, soul, mind; and the Almighty.
The answer to the question "Who am I?"
can be obtained only when man comes to know all about these four phenomena.
So within the question "Who am I?" lies a great secret of the universe.
There is a short way to learn such a secret.
It is to realize matter-state and action-state in the universe.
The term "matter" used here is not what is commonly understood as matter.
It is not the ever-changing matter of the material objects in the phenomenal world.
It is rather the basic, static, quiescent matter which is the base or substratum of
everything.
This matter is known as the Truth, Almighty, or God.
If anyone analyses all the appearances and manifestations in the universe, one finds
only atoms.
All the appearances and manifestations are composed only of these atoms.
There are two schools of thought concerning the atom: science and philosophy.
The scientist describes the atom in one way, the philosopher in another.
This is broadly speaking, of course, since even within the individual fields, both scientists
and philosophers disagree among themselves.
But, basically, according to scientists, the atom is composed of three varieties of particles:
neutrons, protons, and electrons.
These three kinds of particles join together and form a group or a bunch.
It is this family that is called an atom by the scientists.
These particles known to science are the basic particles, called Mash in eastern philosophy.
These basic particles are what philosophers call the atom.
The ether or the ethereal particle, the Akash, cannot be detected with the senses.
It cannot even be detected with the most sophisticated or sensitive of scientific instruments.
All the things that one sees are made up of these minute particles.
As a result, any shape or appearance resulting from the arrangement of atoms into a bunch
or group, cannot be regarded as matter.
The whole universe is really composed of only the ethereal particle or Akash.
This particle is called atom or Parama-Anu in Sanskrit by the philosophers.
