A Collection of God-realization Thoughts
Experiencing enlightenment is as easy and natural as a flower blooming or the leaves of a tree changing colors in the autumn.
The enlightened state is often thought of as a glorified human condition, but in truth, it is the very core of being that exists in all people. We are all enlightened already. It is only a matter of remembering our true nature and allowing our innate spiritual essence to express freely.
Any action that promotes mental, emotional, and spiritual maturity brings us closer to expressing outwardly our inner enlightenment. That is all enlightenment is really, a human grown into full mental, emotional, and spiritual maturity. 
As Paramahansa Yogananda once said, “The time for knowing God has come.”
Putting off the process of God-realization is like having someone tell you, “If you do these certain things, I will give you an endless supply of money for all your worthwhile endeavors whenever you need it,” and then deciding that you will do those things in a few years when you have more time on your hands because you will not be working so much to pay your bills.
