stabilize this state in 7 years of intense non-dual submersion; it is not the end once you had the revelation of your supreme self; the true spiritual path starts only now; you will be able to understand all the sacred texts and apply any technique with great success, but beware not to forget this realization, not to succumb to temptations and be led astray
