Self realization is not what you project it to be! Self realization announces the end of the cosmic journey... one finally reaches the 8.4 millionth manifestation! Self realization is removing the impurities within (the dross within) our soul atman and regaining the pure original pristine form. Self realization announces that our soul atman is finally on the verge of liberation forever from the cycle of birth and death.
The moment a self realized soul leaves the mortal body... one directly goes to the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). In literal terms self realization and enlightenment mean the same. Self realization is realizing the real self of us... our soul atman within that resides in our heart. After gaining Self realization one reaches the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi when one can have communion with God on one-to-one basis permanently.
Self realization is our soul atman gaining final release from manifesting life forms again and again! Self realization can never be gained by literal reading of sacred texts. Establishing absolute control over five senses finally paves way for control over mind power. Practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years... and following the path of Neti (not this, not this) as preached and advocated by Maharishi Ramana is sure shot method for gaining self realization in this very life.
Self realization is the culmination of all meditation and yoga! One finally reaches the end goal of life... the stage of salvation (moksha). More on Self Realization - http://www.godrealized.com/selfrealization.html

Certain questions and certain answers might have touched close to self realization in persons together with other thoughts and beliefs, which might cntradict or keep them away from total realization.
It all depends on your total acceptance by your heart and soul. Even there, some might not admit it orally or give it in writing.

"whats the meaning of life" and the answer that life has no meaning was an epiphany about 1 year ago. Prior to that, i was a god-fearing christian...now i'm a stone-cold atheist....go figure!
