The Upanishad make it incumbent on the Guru to teach spiritual wisdom to a worthy disciple, after testing him if necessary.
The disciple should then practice manana reflection and nidihyasana meditation on the atman which will result in anubhuti or realisation.
What is the nature of the spiritual experience that an aspirant gets when he realises the atman?
He sees all beings in himself and himself in all. Hence he feels neither special attraction nor repulsion for others. Behind every thought of his, he is able to feel the power of the atman, the pure consciousness. He clearly perceives that all the bonds of his heart which had him tied down to this mundane existence, have broken down. He experiences great joy and bliss within himself. When he directs his attention outside, there too he sees the same spirit, the atman, the Brahman.
the bliss he experiences is incomparable superior to any other happiness one can get in this world. He will never have any type of regret for anything in life. He may even roam about the world in a joyous state, declaring his benefits for the benefit of others. This is what the Alwars experienced.
