1. There are some who hold the view that knowledge being the preliminary stage of realisation is essential and indispensable. I do not agree with them on the ground that knowledge is only an achievement of the brain, whereas realisation is the awakening of the soul; and hence, far beyond its scope. Therefore a real teacher is not one who can explain to us the soundness of the religious dogmas or who can prescribe to us do’s and don’ts. What we stand in need from a guru is the true impulse to effect the awakening of the soul. SMP 83
  2. The condition of ultimate stage is when the abhyasi forgets himself as well as God. VR-11 237
  3. Most of the scholarly saints have defined the state of realisation in numerous odd ways, but to me it appears that so far as it can be defined, it is not realisation. It is really a dumb state which is beyond expression. Feeling or observing luminosity within or outside is not realisation at all. SMP 41
  4. Really, Realisation is a tasteless state unchanging and constant. There is no charm, no attraction, and no anandamin the popular sense of the word. It can more appropriately be described as ‘sang-e-benamak‘. One, having attained the state of Realisation develops an unfailing will in the spiritual sphere.
    Generally, learned men express their opinion about realisation or its conditions on the basis of learning and not on that of their experimental knowledge, which is the real one. For that reason I regret to say that realisation has now become a present-day art. The Reality, in fact, has sunk down deep leaving out its colours according to their mental taste and skill. The result is that people begin to focus their attention on those very paintings and get into them to the extent that is neither spirituality, nor Reality. I believe that one must not have the right to touch the subject of realisation unless he has attained it in the true sense, whereby the Divine Wisdom has awakened in him. Only the life of practicality is required for the solution of the problem.  SMP  42
  5. Realization can be better defined as a state of changelessness, which is a condition seldom bestowed on man even in the course of thousands of years . VR I 182
  6. Realization is not possible unless moderation and balance are restored. RD 34
  7. Realization of God means the same as the realization of Self and vice versa.RD 88
  8. My master once commenting on my condition had remarked that the higher a man goes, the greater shall be the lowness in his view. This is the greatest boon rarely bestowed on man even in the course of ages. VR I 245
  9. Transmission gives a new life to the sleeping condition of man and prepares for the highest approach reserved for human beings. Not only that; it transforms the whole being, shattering all the obstacles in the way of progress. The true meaning of Realisation is ‘Death of Death’ or ‘End of End’. If a man is absorbed in this condition, it means the way is clear now. ME 85
  10. God is beyond everything that can be imagined, seen or heard. We reach  Him after crossing the splendour and sound created by Him.VR II 225 Page number 96 of vivarengalu
  11. The state of Negation, which we are craving for, and which is the real life, abides in ‘Tam’ and all activitiescease before one reaches that point. This is the Divine mysterywhich I am revealing today. This point alone is the integral axis ofthe GOD, or the state of Self. TM 5
  12. Ignorance (Avidya) and Knowledge (Vidya) are the two extremities of the same thing. They are like the two poles of a magnet. ThusAvidya has no existence without Vidya, or Vidya without Avidya. When the veil of ignorance is torn off, avidya and vidya are both gone. This is the state of tam which is beyond both. It is in true sense the state of realisation. This is a state of not-knowingness, or complete knowledge-lessness, which may roughly be denoted as the state of Ignorance.  Ignorance, in fact is the highest pitch of knowledge.  SMP 30
  13. The attainment of complete negation means vacuumisation upto its farthest limit, though complete vacuum can never be possible under any circumstance. The forgetful state of negation may however be taken as total negation. It is immensely forceful, as is not even possessed by the great avatars. The great power thus acquired cannot be challenged even by gods like Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. VR I 27
  14. After having attained the last limit of negation , one has to go on and on to what may be termed as the Ultimate limit of limitless, or the Absolute, where every particle of the body gets transformed into energy. Then he becomes an instrument of Nature and having everything in his power and control, he remains unaware of everything.
  15. A person in changeless state is disturbed by the worldly environment. This is due to the fact that the bondage of humanity must remain; of course in mild form, to prevent a man from jumping thoroughly  into  Eternity.VR II 228 Page number 97 of vivarengalu
  16. A man fully absorbed in Brahman (LayaAvastha in Brahma) all the time can do any work, but will look like a statue.VR II 227 Page number 97 of vivarengalu
  17. Feeling of withdrawal of power means something akin to nothingness. I do not want to have even power but only its ultimate state. In that condition the power, when it is required, is there. VR II 220 Page number 94 of vivarengalu
  18. Mind generally has two trends, the one directed towards the world or diversity and the other directed towards the Ultimate or Unity. There must be due adjustment in them. A sage having fully entered into the state of Unity retraces his steps towards diversity. When complete mergence in the state of Unity has been achieved there remains nothing in one to be negated. A reversion therefore comes  in; just as it is the case of the Centre, which includes within its sphere, the state of existence. The most appropriate expression for that would be ‘lt is as it is’. At this stage there is no Anandam, no charm, not even bliss. It is a condition of Statelessness. Still at higher levels of approach the sense of feeling also ends. Differentiation is almost lost, and ‘Ignorance’ develops without any awareness of it. VR II 58-59-60 In chapter Remembrance , sub title Anandam.
