Process of Realization
"Could you explain the process by which a Hindu finds, realizes, or knows, perfection? I know we’ve talked about God’s help and man’s effort, along with the study of the scriptures, but is there a day-by-day or year-by-year process by which this perfection happens?"
"Yes. We seek to become free of desire, then free of ego. How do you feel that you’ve become perfect? When you’re perfect you do not feel suffering, you do not feel pleasures. If you do not feel any attachment and if you feel yourself stabilized in all these circumstances which are normally against you, it means that you are going on the correct path. You can get the process in the Bhagavad Gita, chapter two.
"Which verses?"
