On earth to realize the self

The only reason to be here on earth is to realize the SELF. My gurudeva keeps stressing this again and again to drive the point strongly.

Not here to earn money, to clothe myself, to even have family or to eat. Only here to realize the SELF, to have that one dramatic experience where everything you thought is turned upside down.

It is what is always been known to the knower. That is the goal, direct your energies towards it. Yet it is even wrong to call it a goal. Self realization is an experience only after it has been experienced, yet it is wrong to even call it an experience, but the only possible non-experience.

When karma is controlled through yoga and dharma well performed, then the description of Truth mentioned by the yogis and rishis of yore becomes obvious.

After SELF realization you see the mind for what it is - a self created principle. That is the mind - always creating, preserving and destroying concepts and beliefs. What gives the mind that power? What's the use of asking this question and how does it matter when the SELF exists by itself.

When the instinctive mind and the intellectual mind have been conquered and when the energies are transmuted to their ultimate state, the subtle hidden truth behind obvious . One day you will realize the SELF.
