Self-Realization and Other Awakenings

compassion and surrender, there is built in us a
receptivity for the transcendental awakening
experiences; which in a sense, really are no longer
necessary because we are already living the fruit of
awakening.
For this reason I emphasize loving one another as
deeply, as extensively compassionately as possible,
until our love for another is so intense and deep that
naturally we drop to our knees in deep humility and
surrender.
That is why I recommend human relationships so
much, to practice increasing loving in the most
personal and powerful way to open us to the deepest
love for sentience, surrender to the unfolding of
consciousness in its own way and time. It is a way that
the limited becomes the infinite.
By practicing love, compassion, surrender and
humility, we take on the cloak of God, until, as
Nisargadatta puts it, the ‘I Am,’ God, consciousness
loves you back and releases you.
Nisargadatta’s experience was similar. His guru told
him he was not his body and he immediately accepted
that. With that conviction he concentrated on his
sense of ‘I Am’. In less than three years he had a great
awakening, but which he never described.
