Everywhere you look around, people always keep insisting on the fact that one has to be self-sufficient to survive, but the truth is that this fact is a fallacy. No one is an island, no one stands alone. We have to live with our family, we have to live in society, and our society turns into a nation and the nation turns into the globe rounded up almost perfectly.

Symbiotic relationships within couples and groups are a factual reality. The Hindu concept of self-realization appears to have the answers to the question, “Can I live alone consciously?” “Yes, you can but you have to become the right recipient and receiver of the word of God knowingly.”

Most of us who fail to realize ourselves are just not the perfect recipients for the Ultimate Truth most unfortunately.

The ideal of being independent financially is the closest we can get to perfection numerically. Everybody is and should be living on their own terms financially, but the reality is somewhat different existentially. Should we cancel the entire system of finance globally? Because where ever there is money, troubles flock there almost ritually. Should financial independence occur before Self realization then we think? This might not be the truth entirely. Can we become realized perfectly? Yes, the truth is that one’s existential realization is not dependent on how rich or poor one is in society.

I feel that I can be on my own mostly mentally, but that perfect state has come to me after a lot of hard work and grinding personally. Education plays a very important role in this entire process of evolution because the path of knowledge is the only road to permanent bliss everyone agrees to at least conceptually.
