[Smt. Priyanka asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, We often hear the phrase, "When the soul reaches realization...". Can You please explain what exactly 'realization' means? Is it based on various contexts having different meanings or is there only one meaning in all contexts? At Your divine lotus feet, Priyanka.]
Swami Replied:- Realization means knowing the actual truth after rejecting false points appearing as actual truths. Realization can be attained only through very sharp logical analysis done through debates and discussions with people of similar taste. If the Sadguru or the human incarnation of God is available, you can avoid all this stress because the preaching of the Sadguru stands against any criticism even of the level of a cyclone. Once realization is obtained, repentance shall follow it. After repentance, non-repetition of the same sin in future smashes not only the punishment of that sin, but also, smashes punishments of all such types of sins. This is the only permanent solution to escape punishments here and punishments in hell after death. Realization of the sin also comes after doing very sharp logical analysis. Otherwise, everybody will be thinking that the sin done by him is not sin at all. The crooked intelligence makes such false illusions to avoid the fear for punishments of sins. Realization destroys all the false illusions and shows the clear impartial picture of the truth by which anyone will realize the sin done in ignorance.
