What is Enlightenment

Posted by Suman on Aug 08, 2020

What is Truth?

What is Arrival?

What is Total Freedom?

What is Enlightenment?

Some people will say that Enlightenment

is the point where the human is "completely"

free from his Mind to become something totally different.

That it is a complete and utter dumping of the Mind.

Or that The Buddha "became enlightened"

because he sat under some tree for a specific

number of days and arose as someone the World came to worship and revere.

To this, I will innocently ask ...

While the reality behind these stories may or may not be the Truth,

how do you know that what you say or abide by, is the Truth?

Is not the only Truth that you can vouch for, this...?

these narrations and the picture they paint in your Mind are a lie today

Because no one, you or immediately around you, knows

what it viscerally feels to be and live the Truth that hides behind

the label of enlightenment

So, what is Enlightenment, then?

It is a misnomer.

Questions around a misnomer often lead to more questions.

It is misleading and dangerous to even come close to them

when one has not viscerally experienced their realization.

It is fine to use them to tell others what these labels are not,

ONLY after one has viscerally experienced their realization.

You see,

I have never been into such labels.

I have never been into Religion.

I have never been Spiritual for the sake of it.

I have never been into The Buddha or Jesus Christ.

All I, the flesh and bone organism always WANTED was this ...

To be at unsolicited and perennial Peace.

To live fully and freely through the Body and the Mind.

To do what I wanted, every single Moment and not what my Mind

was continually distracting me towards.

It took me almost all of my life thus far to get in touch with that WANT,

and then the next little while to viscerally arrive at the destination.


Because it turned out that what I wanted also happened to be

the same thing that was needed

from the Organism me,

for the Moment/Situation I was in,

it came upon to me that to fully and really live,

I needed to be separated from my Mind.

(Because the Mind was always pulling me away

from both the Organism me and the Moment.)


I will repeat.

I did not want some "Truth".

I did not know I had to "conquer my Mind".

I did not chase labels, misnomers, practices, and thus,

did not get lost in the madness that exists around it today,

and continually created by others.

And thus to those who are relying on such labels,

I will state this ...

Far superior questions to "Are you/ Am I enlightened?"

are these ...

Have you FELT your WANT?

Are you at (unsolicited and permanent) Peace?

Are you surrendering to that which needs to be done through you?

(No matter the Moment/situation around you)

Do you truly, truly know WHO is it that you are?

Are you viscerally fulfilled living your days?

Ask them to yourself.

Ask them to the "Guru" or the "Spiritual Leader" that you are worshipping

and watch the expression on their face.

Because their expression will reveal to you the answer.

Thank you.
