Enlightenment, you are nearby!

Enlightenment, you are nearby!

Those who attained cannot reveal what enlightenment is and quite unknown for those who have not. It is like death, those who died cannot reveal death, and those who are alive, cannot experience death. At the same time, there is another saying as said by Ramana Maharshi, in your near death experience, you will come to know about it.

The very word, ‘Enlightenment’, brings the true meaning of it. Lightening ourselves, of course, nature does it. Light is comparable with intelligence. We gather knowledge from books, listening or interaction either physically or mentally through the mind. This is external knowledge, if we are poor in gathering them, we need to go for additional tuition. When we are not ready to take up tuition outside, there will be a tuition inside, or intuition. This happens occasionally to every common man. Say, we are strangers in a new place, we are trying to find the right path, the path gets divided now, we just remain silent for a while, our intuition says, go this way. No child will lie, his or her intuition or conscience will not allow them to lie. Those grown up, try to lie or manipulate. Being truthful is natural and lying is quite contrary to nature. Thus, wisdom is open to every child, we parents, teachers, society blunt the children’s intelligence and wisdom.

Everyone of us could have experienced the same, particularly when we go wrong. There will be a strong intuition not to go, we oblige, and feel thankful. This is actually a guideline from conscience we believe, but this is actually from our consciousness. When the mind is connected to consciousness, it happens. Though every one of us has consciousness, we are not always connected to it. The majority of the situations we handle from our mind, from our past experiences. We take up a decision, as if we know everything. This is the problem with our intellect. In deep meditation, our subconscious is connected to consciousness, and that gives peace of mind. Even when we are awake, and if we could connect ourselves to consciousness, we get the right solution to all our problems.

Our mind requires senses, to gather knowledge and information, whereas our consciousness doesn’t require senses. Moreover, our senses can see or hear everything around, with some limitations but not within ourselves. That is the reason why people who are enlightened can see beyond their senses.

Now tell me whether everyone can have the possibility of attaining enlightenment or not? Certainly, there is every possibility. All we need to believe our system, we need to accept our limitations. Once we could see the light inside, be grateful, you are nearby. Have a very strong determination that we would never overcome our conscience or intuition. This is where we keep adding our Karma and they block our direct contact with the consciousness. Once we overcome, we must be ready to harvest back, no way to escape.

Being intact with consciousness is the greatest task. Our attachment to our mind, our knowledge, our belongings, our false relationships, to all our uncertainties is the biggest hurdle. Our fears make us cling to all the uncertainties of life. Our wealth, health, pride, power, relationship and so on, all of them vanish one day, and to establish them we are given so many experiences to learn them. Instead of learning them, we react playing revenge games and at the end, we lose the very life given, every chance, every opportunity. Death will reveal all those plays, but we cannot revert back, and bid goodbye.

Right from childhood, courage is the only food we need the most, instead we give them fear. How to get away from fear, is challenging every moment in life. God says, encounter the fear, that is the way to overcome it. He further substantiates, “ I am with you always". If we believe in God, this will help, otherwise I leave it to nature.

Those who have attained the ultimate truth revealed that the nature of consciousness and God consciousness is the same. Therefore, take it for granted as long as we are alive, we have the possibility of meditating and our subconscious mind can receive information from consciousness. As long as we could get in touch with consciousness, take it for granted God is always with you. Sincere practice with strong determination and belief will lead to the explosion, which may take place at any moment, just wait and be ready for the invitation. The door is always open.

This is the way that the opportunity is wide open to all human kinds, irrespective of caste, religion and race. To be frank, as long as we are confined to those human made demarcations, attaining the ultimate truth is always a hurdle. In this aspect all are equal, and we should appreciate how God is impartial, and that is His compassion. Inner journey is the only way to explore this ultimate truth.
