What is the benefit or realizing the soul as the Self, the presence of God in our hearts? Does it change our view of the world? Relationships?
Lord Krishna answers: 'He who knows the Self and the matter along with the qualities will not be born again, in whatever way he may live.' Yes. Such a person's view of life and relationship will undergo a dramatic change, though externally the actions will continue to be as before.
How to realize the Self? Can everyone qualified to know the Self?
In any field of knowledge, the students are broadly classified as smart, mediocre and slow learner. Here too, Lord Krishna mentions three paths for three different categories of seekers.
The smart and well-qualified seekers will realize the Self through meditation, supported by the clarified knowledge. The mediocre will have continue the journey through constant study and contemplation until all the doubts are cleared and become ready for meditation. Those who are slow-learners should continue to purify the mind through selfless actions and subsequently enter the field of knowledge and meditation.
