 The process of self-realization as is spoken about over here is actually a process of firstly accepting that there is a soul, or at least acknowledging it as a possibility. Then, realizing that you have to discern between actions that are propelled by the ego and actions that are impulsed by the soul, which is a yes or a no. You know, you can find out this thing to do yes or no by consulting with the soul, not thinking what you think you know.
