Qualities of the Self-Realized Person
"The man of Self-realization knows a bliss that cannot be compared to anything in this world. His joy is independent of any object or sensory experience. It is an incomparable happiness that cannot be described in words. Such joy is known as sattvik-ananda (pure bliss)."
-Paramahansa Yogananda-
"...you remain calm and composed even while active. You realize that you are moved by the deeper real Self within. You have no worries, no anxieties, no cares, for you come to realize that there is nothing belonging to you. You know that everything is done by something which you are in conscious union."
​
-Sri Ramani Maharshi-
"Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure or external objects but is always in trance, enjoying the pleasure within. In this way the self-realized person enjoys unlimited happiness, for he concentrates on the Supreme."
​
-Bhagavad Gita 5.21
