“ENLIGHTENMENT”
Enlightenment is not about becoming someone special, but it is about realization and awareness that everyone is connected and one, and that there is no superior or inferior being anywhere.
There is no such thing as an individual anywhere.
This is totally different from mere knowledge.
Once we reach this non-dual enlightenment, we will comprehend that everything we see (i.e., the mind, ego sees) is only a transient dream that appears and disappears by necessity. On the other hand, we will also comprehend that in this dream of each of us (inner experience, not outward phenomena) are hidden all the lessons necessary for spiritual awakening of each of us.
Then, no one would be so egotistical as to give advice to others, nor would they flaunt their knowledge or acquired skills in search of unconscious approval, nor would they worship someone in particular for their mind’s (ego’s) idea of perfection.
All that is necessary to reach the enlightenment is only to sincerely humbly face oneself head on. We let go of all unnecessary (beliefs, assumptions, images, etc.) one by one, based on the facts about the present self that come into view to ourselves through total innermost stillness beyond the mind’s (ego’s) judgments, and thereby, this will inevitably change our words and actions fundamentally, and we will surely move toward our true nature, essence.
And at the very end of this totally egoless self-observation and self-inquiry, we will unexpectedly be able to encounter the eternal, omnipresent, ultimate love, the Self, absolute reality.
In other words, enlightenment will never be able to be reached by increasing knowledge with reading texts, or looking outside for love the mind imagines as we blindly consider that our imperfect selves would become perfected by it, or controlling ourselves or others, or going to see a saint for expecting a magical moment of enlightenment.
There is nothing outside.
Do not be deceived by the phenomena we see (mind, ego sees).
It is always all in us in right here, right now. (OM 🙏)
