What
is enlightenment?
Enlightenment
is the least understood word on earth but is the most fancied
one as well! This is because enlightenment promises something
deeper than depth itself. In fact, enlightenment promises
total freedom.
How?
We
live in a matrix of time and space. We are the prisoners
as well as a part of this matrix in the sense that we are
not able to break through its barriers. The barriers are
those of time and space. Enlightenment or crossing these
barriers means reaching a state of timelessness. When time
vanishes space too vanishes.
What
is time?
Traditionally,
time consists of past, present, and future but scientifically,
present is no time because it does not have any dimensions.
Rather it is timeless. And time is mind because mind needs
moving in past and future to exist.
Are
there any links between time and mind?
When
somehow on enlightenment, awareness jumps into the depth
of absolute present and stays there (here!), time vanishes.
When time vanishes, the mind vanishes. When mind vanishes,
the space vanishes and so do all the meanings and interpretations
given to objects existing in space.
If
interpretations are false, is enlightenment a reality?
This
is what the ultimate depth of enlightenment is. Once, on
enlightenment, one reaches that state; one is free to come
back to this matrix as we know it to be 'our world' or one
can go to any other matrix or any other world and come back
again without being a prisoner of any particular matrix.
Enlightenment frees. Enlightenment is freedom.
