While it is difficult to identify a spiritual person based on external characteristics or tangible contributions, a truly self-realized individual is connected to eternal truth through their consciousness. This connection opens a path for millions of people over generations to achieve self-realization. The best way to understand someone's contribution to global welfare is to become a truth seeker oneself through practices like remembrance of God's name.

2. How to know if a person is truly a truth seeker or a
spiritual person; if not from asceticism and indulgence?
How to know whether they have contributed to global
welfare?
It is true that we cannot identify a person, if he or she is a
seeker of truth or spiritual person; or has realized self or
truth; from external characteristics. We cannot precisely
pin point the contribution of a self realized person to global
welfare, because; it cannot be shown; in a tangible manner.
But it can be said that the self realized or truth realized
individual is connected with immortal eternity
(SACCHIDANANDA); through his or her consciousness.
This connection opens a way; for millions of people;
through generations and centuries; to self realization; the
ultimate purpose; or point of fulfillment; in life.
The best way however; to know the contribution of an
individual to global welfare; is by we ourselves; being the
‘seeker of truth’! It is said that; the best way to be a truth
seeker; is by practicing NAMASMARAN.
