“What is enlightenment?”
What is enlightenment? If you ask me now, I will tell fan is moving, TV's are functioning, people are sitting, I am talking. This is enlightenment. That's all. 00:52 If you ask me, Swamiji please teach Brahma sutra for this moment. I will say," I am sitting on a gold plated throne, brahmachari is using a camera and clicking me, time is 6:55 as per this clock, people are sitting in front of me with lot of anticipation, many have gathered around the world to watch what I am talking. This is Brahma sutra. That's all". 01:37 Only truth has innate intelligence to reveal itself. Shastra means truth about reality. Existence is great because it reveals all the truths about its reality. 02:18 All the psycho drama you add on the things and persons and situations, if they are detected; truth is revealed. The moment you start the psycho of drama of me being guru, I start the psycho drama of you being a disciple. The moment you start the psycho drama of friendliness towards somebody, that person starts the psycho drama of friendliness to you. The moment you start the psycho drama of enmity towards somebody, the person starts the psycho drama of enmity towards you. 03:11 Psycho drama of pain, pleasure, love, anger towards persons, object or reality is corruption. Otherwise in truth, in reality: 'Shastrayonitvat'. 03:46 If I have to translate this sutra, 'shastrayonitvaat': Reality is the origin of the truths about reality. Because it is origin about the truths, about the reality; because it has a capacity to reveal the truths about itself, it is great! 04:13 I tell you anybody who has a capacity to reveal the truths about himself will go to the deeper and deeper truths about himself. 04:25
