Who exactly am I ? The self asked question need an answer. But the apt response to this thought is quite difficult to recognize. Knowledge about oneself is much needed in order to arrive at a conclusion. A stone cannot recognize its inner self. But a human being has the support of knowledge to realize things and experience events. The search for self realization is thus a possibility.
The search for self realization ends up in man's recognition of natural phenomena and the universe in its entirety. The variegated forms of species and vegetation around us provide ample support towards this recognition. Purity of mind and firmness of purpose are the prime needs to observe and realize things in its absolute truth. The ability to observe keenly happenings around us prepare humans to live earthly existence in full. Peace and natural bliss set in. Only a person who gain this kind of mental well being could give out feelings of love and endearment in abundance to one's fellowmen. Giving out naturally and gaining it back in the same token - it is true blessing.. self realization and natural recognition.

Hello my friend sukumar794 Ji,
Well, your question in discussion form makes me to recollect following conversation.
" One day swami vivekananda was knocking the door of RAMKRISNA PARAMHANSA, Vivekananda went on knocking the door and heard voice from inside 'who is knocking the door' vivekanada repliedif he knew who was he, he wouldnot have come to ask you and find the truth. On hearing this, Paramhans opened the door and embraced vivekananda saying that his real desciple has come. Then the great journey of finding truth started. This question is most difficult for common men to understand the truth about oneself. whatever qualifications are required by nature to kn ow is beyond teh reach of common men.
May God bless You and have a great time

From the time immemorial, 'self' is the word that is so hard to define. It is the one who talks about who you are, what your personality is. In fact many will say that they can describe themselves well but after of describing soon will found out that it is still lacking. It is because that what we see from our own is not the other is seeing from us. Personality disorder is arising from our self too. Self is composed of concepts, perceptions, enhancements, and ideas... And still you will found it lacking.

that's what we call interpersonal communication. interaction within self, knowing your ego deeper. well, people often communicate within themselves and this is also the way to know yourself more. you can meditate by loccking yourself in a room, then think of other matters within yourself. you know, being recognized by people is a least part of self realization. i mean, you dont actually need to be recognized to prove what you are. you have your own body, mind, and spirit, and it is only you who can manipulate that. the concept of life is actually composed of those three elements, and you only need to live according forst, to god's will because gods gave us these elements and they gave us free will to manipulate everything within yourself. you don't actually need to rely on criticizms, although they can boost our way of living but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will manipulate everything within yourself. you are the one who evaluate yourself, which is termed as 'self evaluation'.
