Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya,

Just learning the Mahavakya "Aham Brahmasmi", will not give Brahmajnanam. When the learning is imbibed then only can one be a Brhamajnani. That is how it is.

How can just the knowledge give the liberation if one does not lead one's life in accordance with the knowledge. One who knows that one is in everybody will one do anything for oneself before doing that the same to others. One, just learning the techniques of swimming theoretically from a book or from a person orally,  cannot be a swimmer unless one takes the plunge and does practice of swimming.

So my question is, Must something extraordinary happen in an advaitin's life to confirm that his advaitic realization is genuine, perhaps the advaitin equivalent of a jhana? If an advaitin has no such experience all his life (only theoretical understanding), does that mean his knowledge will not liberate him at death, and that he will have to take birth again?
