    Study Notes

    Self-Realization and Perfection in Bhakti Yoga

    • Self-realization means understanding that one is not the body but a spiritual soul.
    • Self-discipline involves not identifying with the body and training oneself to realize the spiritual dimension.
    • Tolerance is a key aspect of self-realization, as one realizes their smallness in comparison to the vastness of the spiritual realm.
    • Self-realized individuals do not become angry or offended by insults, as they understand that they are not the body being insulted.
    • The example of a tree is given to illustrate the concept of tolerance, as a tree withstands all kinds of weather and does not protest.
    • Self-discipline and constant endeavoring for perfection are necessary to achieve self-realization.
    • Self-realization is the understanding that one is not the body but a spiritual soul.
    • By practicing self-realization, one can achieve liberation in the Supreme in the near future.
    • Liberation can take the form of merging with the impersonal Brahman or attaining a spiritual form and associating with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
    • Impersonalism and void philosophy are considered inferior to the personal conception of spiritual perfection in Vaiṣṇava philosophy.
    • The practice of yoga involves shutting out external sense objects, but in bhakti yoga, the senses are purified by engaging them in the service of Kṛṣṇa.
    • Engaging the senses in the service of Kṛṣṇa is the real sense control, as it prevents the senses from being engaged in sense objects.
