Waiting for realisation is futile. Neither you nor any help can speed your growth to realisation. It will just happen. To depend on time to solve your problems is self-delusion. The future, left to its self merely repeats the past. Change can only happen now, never in the future. With crystal clarity, see the need of change. This is all.
You can have reality right now, provided you are really fed up with everything, including your meditations. When you demand nothing, want nothing, seek nothing, expect nothing then the Supreme State will come to you uninvited and unexpected!
To realise non-dependence is the end of Yoga. All that happens, happens in and to the mind, not to the source of the ‘I am’, the Self. Once you realize that all happens by itself, (call it destiny or supreme will or mere accident), you remain as witness only, understanding and enjoying, but not perturbed.
To realise that you are one with, and yet beyond the world brings freedom from all desire and fear. Neither planning nor reasoning is needed, it is found unexpectedly, without the least effort. Thoughts become self-fulfilling; things just fall in place smoothly and rightly. The main change is in the mind; it becomes motionless and silent, responding quickly, but not perpetuating the response.
Spontaneity becomes a way of life, the real becomes natural and the natural becomes real. And above all, infinite affection, love; dark and quiet, radiating in all directions, embracing all, making all interesting and beautiful, significant and auspicious.
You will need no proof that you know yourself correctly. The experience is unique and unmistakable. It will dawn on you suddenly, when the obstacles are removed to some extent. It is like a frayed rope snapping. Yours is to work at the strands; the break is bound to happen. It can be delayed, but not prevented.
The centre of your being will emerge into consciousness. The three states – sleeping, dreaming and waking are all in consciousness, the manifested; what you call unconsciousness will also be manifested – in time; beyond consciousness altogether lies universal awareness and the unmanifested. And beyond all, and pervading all, is the heart of being which beats steadily – manifested-unmanifested; manifested-unmanifested
