SELF EVALUATION OF PROGRESS MADE TOWARDS SELF DISCOVERY

SELF EVALUATION OF PROGRESS MADE TOWARDS SELF DISCOVERY


(Reposting with a request to evaluate and update)


You can evaluate your progress towards self discovery in the following manner :


1. Have a clear concepts of the words "Mana (Mind) , Vachanan (speech) and Karma (Action).



2. Determine

(a) the quantum of differences between "Mana and Vachana" and then "Vachana and Karma" in relation to a single thought which is getting converted/translated into action and

(b) the quantum of bodily relaxation you feel during and immediately after the action is over.

[Note down or remember your mental and emotional state before determination]



3. Find out the reasons for differences try to understand them. Don't try to get rid of them.


4. Go ahead with any method of so called self-realisation that you have chosen.


5. After sometime traveling on the path or practicing the method of your choice again reassess

(a) the quantum of differences between "Mana and Vachana" and then "Vachana and Karma" in relation to a single thought which is getting converted/translated into action and

(b) the quantum of bodily relaxation you feel during and immediately after the action is over.

[ Try to determine the above in similar state of mind and emotion of stage-2]



6. If you find that the quantum of differences between "Mana and Vachana" and then "Vachana and Karma" has gone down compared to previous data (stage-1) and the quantum of relaxation has increased then "understand that you "are/may be" on the right path".


7. The rate of decrease in difference depends upon the path chosen and your mental state (rigidity,belief,faith,openness,preparedness,etc.).


8. Hence you should find out the correct path suitable for you by hit and trial method, but before that you must assess or get assessed your mental and emotional state.


9. The only condition attached is that the progress noted by you by the process mentioned above, must be getting reflected through your behaviour with animate and inanimate things and such behaviour must be reported by others in and around you, not be known by yourself directly.



10. When finally the mana (mind), vachana (words) and karma (action) come into (show) a state of full synchronisation with each other, you(ego/mind) will be no more there to suggest you that now you are a realised person.

You will be be living in that sate without having knowledge of that state.

You will just become a mirror reflecting whatever comes in front of you.

Total acceptance of whatever is will be reflected through you.

Then you are not that what you think about you at present.

You will be established in your natural state.



Note:
The above is not a formula with any guarantee. Just intellectual thoughts.
