What is actual realization?

Many people talk about genuine realization every day, but what does "real" mean? Real means actuality, and actuality is the direct perception (pratyakṣa) realm of the manas. Whatever realm the manas reaches, that is the level of one's cultivation. Because the manas is the master consciousness that governs the bodily, verbal, and mental actions of the six consciousnesses. The mind consciousness's understanding is not actuality, because the mind consciousness cannot take charge of bodily, verbal, and mental actions.

Genuine realization still requires realization by the manas, and for the manas to realize it, meditative concentration (dhyāna) is absolutely indispensable. If meditative concentration is insufficient, the manas cannot realize it; there can only be the mind consciousness's understanding. Therefore, apart from meditative concentration, do not talk about genuine realization.
