“I'm trying to describe exactly what I experienced, what I understood.”
I'm trying to describe exactly what I experienced, what I understood. First we struggle with this few truths, then when it becomes experience, when the cognition happens, we dont keep quiet, it's not that we become completely silent, or become dead, or become dull, no.
Every moment we add value to this truth, we are living this truth, we are excited by this truth. First when you understand the energy to change whatever you can change. Before the enlightenment you may be struggling to express the energy, whatever you can change. Pract for the explosion.
You will not be struggling to express energy through you, but you will be continuously adding more and more positive incidents. Saying yes this is truth, I am expressing it. Those incidents it's what I call miracles.
Understand, the same truths, if you are struggling with it, you are a seeker, if you are creating miracles out of it, you are enlightened. But something will be continuously happening, the same truths, same ideas. If there really struggles in you, conflicts in you, you are a seeker. If you are creating miracles in you, you are enlightened, you are unique.
Same truths before and after, there will be difference in the truth, there will be difference in your experience, and one more thing I want to tell you, want all of us, all of you to understand, please understand, all, all the truths will not become miracle at the time.
First, you may be having hundred ideas, hundred ideas are creating hundreds struggles in you. Don't think suddenly, over night, at one moment, all that hundred ideas will create hundred miracles in you, no. Maybe ten ideas will start creating ten miracles and 90 ideas will create struggles in you.
This is what I call the living enlightened period, the period of Jeevan Mukti , when you live the enlightenment, please understand, Jeevan Mukti does not mean the end. Its living enlightenment. First hundred ideas you will listening, Strotam, .. Strotam, Manana. Nididhyasana. Listening and continuously remembering, remembering and living.
When you listen to these truths, you will start struggling. If you listen to hundred ideas, you will be struggling with all hundred ideas. Slowly when you remember in this hundred, ten will become the ideas who start creating miracles in you. The ideas which become experience in you.
For example, you listen to one idea, if you are thinking positively, things will happen positively. What an idea? First, in the initial level you will start struggling to think positive. You will have naturally struggle, maybe for a few days. Suddenly one day you start thinking positively, create, something has happened the very positive way, means: You experienced the truth.
The idea which was a struggle in your inner space, has become miracle now in your inner space. So, the same way, hundred ideas and hundred ideas that you are struggling, suddenly one fine morning, ten ideas will become miracles, the remaining ideas will continue to be struggle.
After some time, maybe some fifty ideas will be miracles and fifty ideas will be continuously a struggling point, you'll be struggling. Please do not think anybody who’s on the planet Earth, for whom all the hundreds of ideas are only miracles. No, no. Please understand. Even after the explosion, even after the explosion, they may not have the same hundred ideas.
See, for example, you having one hundred ideas, ten will become miracle, and nineteen if you feel like it will continuously struggle. Of course, at some point explosion happens. After the explosion, after the experience, you will not have this, all the hundred ideas, either it become miracle or it becomes struggle.
You will completely drop all hundred, you will have something else, something else happen in you, but you won't think: “Only if all the hundred has become miracle, I become enlightened.”
These are some of the important technical truths, which really stops us from enlightenment. Please understand, which really stops us from enlightenment. I'm working with hundreds of seekers, you can say thousands, thousands of seekers and I know for sure, life positive is around seekers. The very sucky struggles which I am facing with the seekers, when I try to help the seekers, only those few sutle struggles I am sharing.
Usually you think all the other points, if they become miracles in us, experience in us, only then will become enlightened, no. Even a thirty, forty the explosion may happen. The problem is, when you don't recognize, some strong cognit shift is happened in me, you forget that you had strong experience and you stop nourishing, enriching that experience.
See, please understand, always enlightenment happens to you as a Sathori, means that is the possibility that you may forget. The first experience always has the potential that you can forget, the possibility that you can forget. If you have scale about enlightenment, you will not recognize the first experience as a strong experience, you will not allow that to flourish, that to grow, that to flower in your inner space.
So, that happens, allow it, do not have a judgement attitude, do not have perfectionist attitude, do not have (..) And the other big problem is: We have consultants, some ghost or somebodies experience, that's another big disturbance. Big problem. I can say, each idea which has become part of you, as I was telling Stotram, Manana. Nididhyasana.
Any idea if you listen, it will be a struggle. When you contemplate it, it will become an experience, when you start living, every moment you live that idea, you have one miracle in your life.That is what I call Nididhyasana. The ideas which comes towards you, when it was struggle it is Shramana, when you just try to contemplate, work on it is Manana, when it becomes experience it is Nididhyasana.
When it becomes experience, every time you recollect an idea, you add one more miracle to your life. Every time you live that idea, you add one miracle to your life. You don't have to think, all the ideas that you receive in your life should add miracles to you, only then you are enlightened, no.
Even if thirty five ideas have become experience in you, a strong explosion can happen in you. One important truth; After that explosion, all the hundred problems will disappear, it will not be there, it will not be there. After that, you may have different kind of understandings, I don't know how to use proper word, after what you have may not be a problem, maybe the expression of compassion, expression of compassion.
But don't think you will become completely dead, dull, you don't need to do any strategic planing, you don't need to do anything, you will be completely retired, no. You will be living the enlightenment.
