“HE WHO HAS REALIZED THE SUPREME, DISCARDS ALL HIS IDENTIFICATION WITH OBJECYS OF FORMS AND NAMES. LATER HE LIVES AS THE PERSONIFICATION OF THE INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS AND BLISS> HE BECOME STHE SELF.”

The  path for the realization of the Supreme or the Eternal Self and to be ever in the experiences of the Infinite Consciousness  has already explained. There is no other path than that of single minded meditation. Constant practice of meditation makes him an experience (knower) of the Paramatman . ((Paramatma-vit) To such an individual, there are no more the illusory multiplicities which were but  false super impositions upon the substratum ,of the Self.

All the world of names and forms and multiple material experiences have now merged into the substratum and the Knower of the Self becomes the Knower of the Supreme Self ( Paramatma vit). He is  himself an embodiment of the Infinite Consciousness and Bliss. The dreamer cannot see, experience or understand the waker…… the dreamer, at that stage himself becomes the waker.  There are no more dreams for him. He has awakened to a brighter, clearer, ampler world of the waking- state- consciousness. Like the dreamer who has ended his dream on waking up, likewise all the perceptions of the world recognized by the limited ego ends even as it realizes the Supreme State of Pure Consciousness. He becomes Himself the Brahman.

Taittiriya Upanishad, in its Anandavalli declares that one knows the Brahman becomes the Brahman Itself. “ OM BRAHMA VIDATHPNOTI PARAM THADESHSBHYUKTA  SATYAM JNANA MANANTAM BRAHMA”  “Brahma vid  Brahmaiva bhavati”  One who knows the Brahman becomes the Brahman himself.

“When they have reached Him, the sages become satisfied through their knowledge. They become perfect in their souls-----tranquil and free from passion. These wise men, having reached the Omnipresent on all sides with concentrated minds, enter into the ALL itself.”  ( Mundakopanishad Vi  Up.III.2)

“When all the desires that dwell in the heart are cast away-------then does the mortal  become immortal, then does he become Brahman even here.” (Brihadaranyakopanishad)

“Just as the slough of a snake lies on an anthill, dead and cast away, even so lies this body. But this disembodied immortal spirit is Brahman only, is Light only.” ( Brihadaranyakopanishad)
