SELF REALIZATION IS...

The ordinary life is the oscillation between pleasure and pain.

Pleasure is not bliss or even real happiness, because it is only momentary and is dependent on things and circumstances.

Real happiness and bliss depends on nothing.

Real happiness and bliss is your real nature.

Self-realization is the realization that your are at your very essence, Unbounded Joy, Happiness and Bliss.

The indication that you are authentically progressing on the spiritual path is that you are increasingly Joyful, happy and blissful regardless of what the circumstances may be. A true Mahatma "Self-realized one" is known by their spontaneous expression of innate wisdom, clarity, aura of peace, and blissfulness under all circumstances... <3
