  It's basically the same lol There's degrees of God consciousness. Just like there's degrees of enlightenment lol The closer to the light of God you are, the closer to God consciousness you become.
  
  And I been on this path a long ass time, okay lol I'm one of the few humans on the path of God consciousness, and it's a heavy duty thing lol Becoming your God Self. But the body can only hold so much light, and consciousness, before it becomes uncomfortable, so best ease your way into it lol
  
  Again it's not that different, it's just different levels of perception lol Light is feeling also, God consciousness is something else, but it's connected lol This is my experience.

  It seems that Sri Amma Bhagavan is challenging the illusions and glamours surrounding devotees, as follows:
  
  "Some people are solely focused on God-Realization. In India, there have been great seers who have sung songs saying, “We do not want Enlightenment. We do not want it. We only want to be with You,” addressing their God. There are people like that."
  
  And I agree, that there are people like that, who do not seek to practice the art of self-realisation, but would feel more comfortable, with the sentiments surrounding their object of devotion, their god, their icon...They only want to be "with their god"...They do not seek their own divinity.....Through self-reflective unfoldment, leading to enlightenment...
  Being with god, as a child seeks to be with a parent....But all must grow eventually...
  
  This is actually the difference between the AGELESS WISDOM teachings, allowing understanding of good practices towards spiritual growth, by all chelas and the compartmentalised religious notions of sentimental followership...by devotees..And ones placed in boxes, starting with novices...It seems that the higher priests still retain such sentiments, too...and in effect, remain novices in their own areas...
  
  Worship may be useful before one enters the degrees of initiation, at the birth (of self,) but has little meaning to one who has located one's inner spiritual beingness, and ashram, through self-realised evolution...One's inner spiritual Monad...through the Soul...
  
  So yes, seek one's own Light within, while still being aware of the outer presences....We are one, indeed...as above, so below...!! You find out that your ashramic Master is a friend, helping you along, but not a finger wagger..as with religious "ashrams."
  
  So in conclusion, there is a difference between self-realisation and "god-realisation." as per the definitions provided.
