   2. Self-Discovery/Self-Realization/Self-Actualization:

      1. Who am I?

         1. If you put this command in computer, computer gives you the user-id. Similarly generally we identify ourselves with our name, professional, nationality etc.

         2. Is our name our true SELF?
            Our name is given by our parents, relatives or anyone who happened to pick the name of their liking. If our name would have been different than what it is now, would we be a different person? So the answer is that our name, profession or Nationality etc are not even the tip of the iceberg of the true SELF.
            Knowing your true SELF is knowing:

            • yourself in and out (self-knowledge);

            • knowing your purpose of life; and

            • ability to visualize the path of that life-journey which lets you accomplish the higher goal of your valuable existence.

            How can you reach anywhere without knowing where you are, where you want to go and how to go from where you are to where you have to go? Similarly in life to reach the right destinations it is essential to first know your inner self, your strengths, weaknesses, likings, disliking, interests, passions, skills, gifts and whatever is there to know. Then the next step is to find the higher purpose, life objectives and mission. And finally chalking out the life plan in broken down clear actionable steps or action items to do to accomplish the purpose, objectives and the ultimate mission.

         3. Complete SELF v/s partial SELF
             

      2. How self-discovery happens through meditation?
         The meditation is the time you truly give to yourself. To have the self discovery, the first essential thing required is to give it some time. Just like we can not finish any task or work without giving certain time, attention and skills, why should we expect that we can attain self-realization with some instantaneous divine intervention? Meditation does all the 3 things together for us:

         1. We are giving time to ourselves as we are sitting in meditation for a certain time period everyday.

         2. Our attention is SELF and not any outwardly thing or topic.

         3. By the technique our skills are developing to experience the insights, clarifying the confusions and witnessing the pure truth.
             

   3. Enlightenment: Freedom from every constraint imaginable.
