Sirgerry,
If you can achieve this state for even one second during your practice
then you are there :-)
Because you are that thing which you seek. You always have been and you
always will be. There is nothing to transform into. You are it (there)
now.
If you try "doing" something (eg. yoga, sadhana, meditation, etc) to
"transform" yourself hard enough and long enough at some point you will
become utterly frustrated with the futility of it and accept that you
are now that which you are trying to transform into.
When you accept who you are, is when "it" will happen and you will
"own" it 24/7 :-) And yes, you will feel a click and you will know you
are there. But don't be looking for fireworks to go off, it will
probably happen quite unexpectedly, in a quiet moment and you will
notice that nothing at all has changed except your "knowing". It can
happen in an instant or it may take life times. Don't worry about it,
it will happen when you are ready to accept. The harder we try to "do"
that which already exists, the longer our acceptance is delayed.
In the mean time continue to learn and practice control of your body
and the mind in all of its aspects and read, read, read... Sivananda
(anything and especially about Sadhana for house holders), Yogananda
(anything and especially Man's Eternal Quest or contact
www.selfrealization.org/ and request "The Lesson's" mailed weekly for 3
years-nothing better exists to teach one how to be and live and think
and create and Love as a yogi in the real world.) , Vivekananda (Karma,
Bhakti, Raja and Jnana Yoga) , Emmet Fox (anything and especially Power
Through Constructive Thinking and Alter Your Life-this is the
absolute-bottom line-Truth), Ken Keyes (Handbook to Higher
Consciousness- this will help build awareness, inner-peace and
acceptance) Richard Hittleman (Yoga: the 8 steps to health and peace-
this will help you understand why you should be reading everything
above and it will help with hatha also)and any work that tells you the
Truth about who and what you are. Don't be concerned with any
particular form (or flavor) as It's all One and the Same.
God's Love,
Jared
