True self-realization and realization of God and Divinity go together simultaneously. Similarly, when one has realized the supreme source of all that exists there is also realization of the self. To truly heal on a physical as well as spiritual level we must develop ourselves that we can have true discretion in life.

To gain this higher perception of reality allows us the clarity to discern true bliss and joy from pleasures that are at best fleeting.
