I searched on the web to find some Blogs on similar subject and was surprised to see that there are fair few Blogs presenting thoughts on similar subjects as mine. Its a great feeling that across the world there are people who although striving and succedding in their daily lives chores are interested in thinking on "Self reaslisation".
One of the keys to success is "The Art of Compassion". This is an art and a skill as it is partly in you and partly can be developed with persistent efforts. Compassion, simply put is loving people around you. This is simple to read and perhaps all of us have read this or heard this from religous, social or spiritual sources. It is equally difficult to implement. Mind plays tricks with us and lets our emotions dominate our judgement. The more you let the mind take over and let it freely fly in clouds of throughts and emotions the more the mind gets involved in stronger emotions. Strong emotions can be strong liking represented by feelings such as liking, loving, or longing or can be feelings of hatred, revenge, jealousy and anger. Compassion works as a calming agent on such feelings and helps to bring the mind home.
Whilst I do not claim to be a master on this subject, I am confident in writing that it has paid dividends in the form of subdued mental turbulence in my own life. There are many sites available on the subject of Compassion. I found Tibetan Budhism as great source for learning Comapssion. Teachings from His Highness The Dalai Lama are always simple and effective.
