Could something be said about not trying self realization? Not seeing the need to become realized and witness the self. More than a hinderance to life, not finding or witnessing your Soul is one of the greatest ways to create pain, sorrow and heartache.
Babaji tells us that Self realization or the witness of our internal creator is more than something we need. It is our divinity.
Although few have experience the Godself to the level of what Shiva or Babaji have it is the first step on this path to witness and open up to the inner God. Witnessing and learning to base relationships into this inner working is quite likely the fastest way one can master divinity, abundance and realization untold.
Inquiring about enlightenment, one of the fastest if not the quickest ways to unlock this inner Source is through practicing Kriya and Yoga. At www.avatarbabaji.com you can begin taking the steps to this perfected way to master ones own divinity. Check out the eCourses at www.avatarbabaji.com
