The self-realized life isrnthe ultimate lifestyle because it elevates the practitioner out of the realm of temporality, ignorance, and misery into the dimension ofrnete ity, knowledge, and bliss. In this material world everyone isrnstriving for this. However, due to a poor fund of knowledge they are striving for it in the wrong way. It is generally felt that money, power, and prestige can purchase happiness, but the anxiety-ridden lives of those who have attained money, power, and prestige proves that this is not where happiness is found.

Sometimes those who have wealth, influence and fame may temporarily think they have attained happiness by these things, but sooner or later it becomes obvious that they have not. Sadly this is usually too late for them to be able to get free from their entanglement in the material energy to devote their energy fully to the self-realization process. Therefore it behooves one to solidly embark on the self-realization pathway as early as possible. In ancient times even the young boy, Prahlada, became a great self-realized soul. In fact he is celebrated even today as one of the twelve great Mahajanas, the most highly realized personalities of history.

So how does one begin the self-realization process? The first thing you have to realize is that you are not your body. As long as we think that the self and the body are the same we can never become self realized. This illusory state of mind is called bodily consciousness. The devotee of self-realization must be firmly fixed in understanding, “I am not myrnbody.”

The body is constantly changing. At every moment the old blood corpuscles are dying and new blood corpuscles are taking their place. Just as the water in the river is constantly changing, the cells that make up our bodies are constantly changing. What today is a water molecule of Mississippi River water was yesterday Ohio River water. Next week it will be Gulf of Mexico water. So what actually is ther Mississippi River? It’s a place that attracts the water molecules tornflow through it. Similarly you are actually the atma, an ete alrnspiritual being, who attracts the molecules that constitute your physical body to conglomerate around you for a certain period of time until they flow somewhere else. Just as the water molecules in ther Mississippi River constantly change, the cells that make up your body are constantly changing.

To enter the supreme self-realization lifestyle you must completely discard the conception that you are male or female, black or white, old or young, Russian or American, etc. However, simply negating your physical existence is not sufficient. Mere negation isrnimpractical. It does not give you any platform on which you can function. Therefore you must positively assert your spiritual identity. There are some philosophers who assert that the self isrnsimply false. But if this is the case, who is asserting that the self is false? If they (according to their philosophy) do not exist, how can they assert that the self is false? They cannot do so. Therefore this absurd philosophy cancels itself out and cannot be accepted as valid.

It is confirmed by Lord Sri Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita that we are not this body:

dehino 'smin yatha dehe
kaumaram yauvanam jara
tatha dehantara-praptir
dhiras tatra na muhyati

“As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body atrndeath. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.”
Bhagavad-gita 2.13

We can remember experiences we had when we were small children even though the cells that constitute or make up the material body have all changed. Therefore it is obvious that I and my body are two, not one. At the time when someone dies we lament that they have passed away, but yet their body is lying there in the funeral home. It is obvious from our intuitive understanding at such moments that the self and the body and not the same. But yet every day we get up and look into the mirror foolishly wondering, “How do I look today?” We constantly identify the body as the self. This is our present state of illusion.

By hearing the words of God from the authorized scriptures such as ther Bhagavad-gita, and by hearing the words of self-realized souls who are situated perfectly in spiritual consciousness without any tinge ofrnbodily consciousness, we can understand that we are not these bodies. And then if we can fully implement the instructions we receive from ther Lord and from the spiritual masters, we will fully realize that we are not these through the complete awakening of our original consciousness as ete al spiritual beings.
