Clarity in the mind may be different from realization. I define realization as "made real by experience".

Another term for realizing Atman is Self-realization.

Self-realization is probably the most difficult thing to attain. There are different "schools" and different teachers. The 2 most known "schools" relating to Self-realization, or enlightenment, are Yoga and Buddhism. Yet, to my view, the prerequisite to the attainment is wanting it more than anything else. To my view, the "school" is of secondary importance.
