What is spiritual awakening? Signs you are experiencing one

It is about being Enlightened with the truth and living with that Enlightenment. It is attained through deep, intense yearning and sincere effort. We need the grace of God and the guidance of a Guru to awaken. It all starts with a quest for the truth driven by two questions: seeking the purpose of life — 'Who am I?' and 'Why am I here?' As we evolve, we find ourselves transcending the body, mind, and ego. We no longer seek material success or wealth. We become free from the triple suffering—the pain of the body, misery of the mind (free from fear, worry, stress, anxiety, regret, shame, guilt), and agony of the ego (free from anger, hate, revenge, jealousy, pride, greed, selfishness). We live with discipline, the desire for God, discrimination, dispassion, and as a Divine instrument, ever connected with God. We live with peace and fulfillment, acceptance, and surrender. We realize that we are all one, manifestations of God. Therefore, we see God in all, love God in all, and serve God in all. Spiritual awakening is
