Each person's realization is different.

The key is to find your own realization.

Hmmm...thoughts?

A realisation - at leat the way I think you mean it is really a deep or profound experience of the truth (or depth) of something.



So I could be contemplating (thinking deeply over) the question 'what do I fear' and then suddenly I will have a deep experience of a fear of mine and in this way I will gain powerful insight into this question. Realisations are usually accompanied by a tremendous release of energy, that could have you bouncing around for days (depending on the depth of the realisation), but after that could leave you a little depressed and vague and the realisation begins to dissolve and fade.



Weeks or months after even the most profound realisation, it may just seems like some vague dream and will eventually disappear altogether if you haven't worked with it, embodied it, digested it.



So we all have 'little' realisations all the time, about whatever we may be contemplating or thinking about. Realisations also come in degrees, so you may have a succession of realisations about exactly the same thing, but each one will take you a little deeper (be a little more profound).



Big and profound realisations are things like, the realisation of 'absolute freedom', or 'emptiness' or 'cosmic love' or 'cosmic consciouness' ... etc.



The most profound of all realisations, the deepest and most difficult to come by, is the realisation of causal, non-duality, this is often called 'Enlightenment' and if realised, completely and forever changes your relationship to life.



Hope this helps

I agree each person has its own perception of things. They see things at a different view. From that point, they realized things and seems to think differently. Realization is a matter of interpretation. And interpretation could be pictured in so many ways depending on how you picture the image. The mind is so complex that differs from one person to another. There are a lot of interpretation of an event. Your view may not be the same as mine for it really depends how you conceived things. Realization is the product of conversion into fact or action like on making own plans , ambitions, fear, etc. It is a matter of understanding or appreciating things in life.



Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

its like travelling from one place to another you only see the things where you are and you assume about where you have been earlier all of us live in different dimensions. that why two humans are not same as they stand in different hemispheres and there a minuet difference counts huge when it comes out, as a wave in pool is very Small when start but when it reaches corner it huge and by placing your self and other between the wave will make a difference person in middle will see a small wave and person at edge can see it a tsunami .

If one relies on their own realization they will be cheated. We can not know God on our own. It is said in the Bhagavad Gita a it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada that unless one surrenders to a bonafide Spiritual master. One who has seen the Absolute Truth then one will take innumerable lifetimes to come to that point and even it is through the bonafide Guru that one can see God face to face. God is the one who is revealing Himself to others. He will only reveal Himself fully to the fully surrendered souls. He says one must go through a bonafide Guru such as Jesus Or Saint Francis or Prabhupada etc. But there are so many cheaters. And God will send one to a cheater who is perfect for our cheating propensity. Meaning as much as we are thinking our own way about God, He will send us to the person who will shows that way to us. Though it may be false or wrong about Him. God gives us what we want and deserve. God is not so cheap; We can not speculate about Him. That is like speculating abut the innumerable stars. One is sure to be baffled in their attempts. This idea of my own realization is called frog Philosophy.

Example- A man visits a frog in a well. The man says "Have you seen the great ocean?" The frog said No is it twice the size of my well?" The man said no much bigger." Frog- "Is it 5 times the size of my well?" Man- No much bigger" frog- "Is it ten times the size of my well?" Man NOO" and so on. So one can see that the frog could only try to understand things by his own experience and tiny frog brain.

The Absolute Truth is not subject to speculation. It is abaolute as one plus one =2 it can't be changed. It woul be a wast of time to try to decide if it could be more or less than 2. God is who He is an one can not put their own idea or they will be misled by thier own mind and others. Our senses are imperfect and our mind is so covered my material Illuison. So who are we to speculate on The Greatest Unlimimited Supreme Person .http://www.asitis.com/9/2.html Krishna explains Himself and transcendental wisdom perfectly in this verse.

A Rock is a rock no matter what. But two people viewing it from two different sides will have different realizations of it. It will still be the same rock, and the two views will both be real. But will they both, when combined, equal a rock? or more?

reliable success. that would desire to be a super life, yet you do choose some earnings for roadtrips, and risk is, in case you're taking each week or 2 off each month, you will now no longer have that earnings. merely on a downer observe.

Realization of what?



Are we speaking of realization, as in recognition of some truth, or of actualization, as in putting that truth into practice?

Reality is reality. Just because we may experience it differently does not mean there is more than one kind.
