Enlightenment: Let’s Dig Deeper

Deeper Enlightenment


Question: What is the state of mind of an enlightened person?
Answer: Someone has very nicely described enlightenment as the feeling of 'having done'. After enlightenment one feels like he has nothing left to be done. His purpose in this world feels to be fulfilled. He remains in bliss. He does not feel any need of interrupting any event. He becomes a real observer and enjoys everything. The state of mind is beyond words.
Question: Beyond…?
Answer: Yes, beyond. Psychiatrists call this state the state of super-consciousness. At this state the consciousness expands to encompass the complete cosmos by uniting it with the eternal supreme consciousness. The mind starts losing its identity and thoughts get transformed into intuition. At that state whatever appears into the consciousness is truth. This is the state where profound doctrines of scriptures appear. Sometimes the person remains completely thoughtless experiencing the Zero and at the next moment consciousness deal with gigantic waves of knowledge.
Question: Is it necessary to leave all activities to attain enlightenment?
Answer: No, it isn’t. After all, all activities cannot be left. One can attain enlightenment while performing his duties. It is tougher than working in solitude but, achievement acquired while exercising duties is long-lasting.
Question: Who can attempt for enlightenment?
Answer: Anyone can attempt for enlightenment. All of us have same potentials. The difference in abilities that we perceive in this world is because everybody nurture and allows only certain potentials to grow and develop in them.
Question: One should arrange for rest of the life before attempting to work for enlightenment, as this work can take unknown time. Isn’t it?
Answer: I have already said that for achieving enlightenment one doesn’t need to shun all of the activities and meditate continuously for several days. It can be achieved by building awareness and concluding observations simply. Meditation helps one to develop this awareness and ability to comprehend. But, do not make meditation a tool to escape from your worldly duties.

Religions Are Innocent

Image
Today there is a very popular saying, “Religions divide and spirituality unites”. I have heard this sentence from some learned men as well. Recently, I came across a statement in facebook in which the person had written that the religions keep on creating chaos and if they are not stopped it may lead to something that you can’t think of even. A movie recently released also aims at religions stating that a religion either makes a man weak or a terrorist. In today’s world we are surrounded by numerous luxuries. Today works can be done in amazingly small amount of time with even less implementation of effort. This is making us (with these things) more powerful and efficient and us (without these things) even more weak and lazy. Today we do not have time to think about anything beyond our office and home. In such conditions, if a statement comes to us from whatever source it may come, that is easily accepted by us. It spreads as a jungle fire in the society. And if a statement has come fro...

What Exists And What Not?

Existence has been a very widely discussed topic from times immemorial. It is because, our understanding of what exists and what not helps us to understand that what our actions and efforts should be directed towards. If we long for something that never actually existed, we are sure to land among despair. Only one whose efforts are oriented towards the true existence is worthy of achieving peace and happiness. A child starts crying loud if it’s lovely necklace, which it has got from somewhere and now uses it for its childish game, gets separated into beads. It assumes the necklace as an independent existence. It doesn't know that those small beads are the one that combine to make up its lovely toy. Then its parent again fixes it and the child get surprised and happy again to get back its cradle. The parent doesn't get worried about breaking of the thread, because he sees those beads as the core of the existence of the necklace. The notion is that the parent sees beads as the co...
