CONQUERING YOURSELF
A comprehensive guide to taking control of your life and spiritual health .
BECOMING THE MASTER OF YOUR OWN BEING is a goal that almost every spiritual school of thought stresses - whether it is Buddhism , Sufism , Hinduism , Kabbalah , Sikhism or New Age Spirituality . Before you can master yourself , you need to know yourself . In spirituality and in life , complete self-awareness is the key to success .
Guru Nanak said , ‘ One who realises one ’ s self , comes to know the essence .’ [ SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB , PAGE 224 ] A famous Sufi saying also states that one who recognises one ’ s self recognises God .
Coming to truly know yourself is a huge accomplishment . In the past , people who achieved this feat were marked in history as saints of God . To obtain self-realisation , you are required to not only embark upon the spiritual path , but to be acutely aware of your own emotional and psychological state at all times .
True self-awareness used to take an incredible amount of dedication : aspirants would go through vigorous spiritual austerity , often abandoning their homes in favour of making the jungle their abode for this purpose . However , today with the help of the spiritual sciences dispensed by His Divine Eminence Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi , it is easier than ever before to attain the seemingly unattainable !
This guide will walk you through the different aspects of self-awareness and offer you tricks and tips to help you learn more about yourself .
