How does one become self-realized?

Self-realization is an expression used in psychology, spirituality, and Eastern religions. It is defined as the "fulfillment by oneself of the possibilities of one's character or personality." In one overview, Mortimer Adler defines self-realization as freedom from external coercion, including cultural expectations, political and economic freedom, and the freedom from worldly attachments and desires etc. Paramahansa Yogananda defined Self-realization as "the knowing — in body, mind, and soul — that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing." See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-realization

How you become self-realized probably depends on how you define it, and which path you choose. Some might try to get there through yoga and meditation, others through psychoanalysis. Maybe try Googling "Abraham Maslow" and "self-actualization."
