Yes, that is Self realization.

Thank you GurujiLast question - so Soul acts as a trigger in Material life (since it covered by Maya), but when mind transcends maya (material life), then it is inert and silence.

Soul as such is not the trigger. When the soul is veiled by māyā, it becomes the trigger. But without the soul, nothing can happen. We cannot eat without soul, as without soul no body exists.

So if I take the example of a daily activity say eating, then suppose the body sees the food, self triggers to eat it if hungry, which the mind may accept or reject it, at the same time if the body is eating too much the self will trigger stop, but again the mind and buddhi can accept or reject it. Hence at this point of time buddhi comes to a wrong conclusion that it is doing everything as it has the power to decide whether to do that activity or not, but forgetting that the initial trigger was given by the SELF without which any action or inaction would not have come up at all (this is ignorance which is explained above?) Hence the initial trigger to any stimulus is given by Self to act on everything in ones life and the mind and buddhi acts or does not based on this trigger.

Khadgamala is about Devis in Sri Chakra. Proper worship of Sri Chakra needs initiation and one should understand the intricacies of Sri Chakra for worshiping avarana devis. I am of the opinion that one needs proper initiation to do khadgamala.

Everything originates because of the self. At the same time, self is inert and does not act. Because of the presence of the self, these organs act. Yes, trigger for the whole thing is the Self only and at the same time, it does not activate the mind or buddhi. They act according to the karmic impressions. Karmic impressions cannot manifest without the self. Self is like electricity. Switch is like organs of perception and action. The light of the bulb is the actions.

Oh ok. I've heard that even uninitiated ones can chant the Khadgamala stotram. Apparently a qualified Guru, Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati, said it can be chanted by the uninitiated and reap benefits.Is this true?

So here physical body is writing this,prana is sustaining the body to write,mind has generated this question, buddhi is using intelligence and writing this and happiness is felt by mind for asking this question assuming this is a good question? So now the trigger for this question is the Self? Meaning self triggers a question to the mind and mind in turn is asking for buddhis help in turn it uses body and prana to draft this question to satisfy minds unrest, which gives mind happiness and ego the sense of credit for this question asked? Is this. Correct

Because of inherent ego, buddhi thinks that it is doing it. In fact, four kośa-s make us to act and these four kośa-s in conjunction with antaḥkaraṇa cause every action for which ego (part of antaḥkaraṇa) takes credit. Here ānandamayakośa is not related to Bliss arising out of meditation - sat-cit-ānanda.

Is this understanding correct, when an activity is performed say writing this question. Budddhi comes into play and constructs this sentence, when completed the ego says that this has been written properly by you, so ego is enforcing that buddhi is the Self, but it is not because the Self within is guiding this question and buddhi is wording it or the buddhi itself is doing this?Anandamaya kosha here is refers to happiness that we derive from good karma or happiness arising from being with the self during meditation?
