Discernment is everything. When you know that you have achieved something profound, there is an "Awareness" deep within your "Inner Reality", (Psyche). The innermost part of "Being". has a tingle of satisfaction that it has discovered something which is unexplainable. A "Secret Understanding" which cannot be explained Intellectually. That is the discovery of Self-Realization. Self-Realization does not happen overnight, it a gradual acknowledgement and comprehension of what you know, (and what you do not know). A simple Meditation technique, or grasping an understanding given by a Teacher. A "Spark of Consciousness". Raised Awareness. The most important thing about Discernment, is a nonattachment to it. Or, you have discovered something new, and it has opened-up a new understanding of Spirituality. That is always a dangerous time. Why? You have discovered something profound and it is the "Ultimate of Understanding", (there is no greater truth). That is where people make the mistake of clinging-on to their new Realization. At which point growth will stop.The moment you discover something new, you must let it go, and wait for the next "Spark" to appear. It could be hours, days, weeks, months or even years to appear. It depends on the individual and where they are Spiritually.
