No question of realization. Try to catch Him, what he is doing inside. After that, no need of anything. God is available here and how, anywhere and everywhere. The God you are searching for resides in your heart.
Religion is nothing divorced from life.
No asceticism, no austerity, no penance, no physical restrictions, no mechanical mutterings of mystic syllables. All these are egotistic activities. Your inner fullness can dawn only when your ego is fleeced off. Only then are you in the wantless state. Choose your center of coordinates properly.
