SMILE YOUR WAY TO ENLIGHTENMENT

Enlightenment is very tough ! hardly a few out of the masses have ever become truly enlightened ever. Even those who slipped in the last leg are worshiped as Gods by the incorrigible masses ! So what is the real chance of ourselves getting enlightened? Very little. May be in the next birth? Unlikely for me ! I am not that mould. Only the blessed ones get enlightened. We are ordinary also ran mortals....

STOP !

Stop thinking that way ! These are all scary theories spread by the clever Brahmins to further their interests. According Osho, Moksham, Enlightenment, is the birth right of all beings. It is the core state of existence. Most reach this state at some point of time in life. But their attachments and pending desires quickly smother this state of realisation. That which hides us from the realisation of the true self is called Maya.

It is designed that way by the supreme intelligence just to have fun ! While we are awake, what happens? The mind gets awake. Starts interacting with the world. While we sleep what happens to the mind? The mind rests with the soul, consciousness. There is no other space for mind to rest. While asleep we are actually in some sort of partial enlightenment! Even though we don't realise that. We see dreams while asleep? Who sees these dreams? The Body? The eyes? The mind? The intellect? All these are resting. Only the consciousness is awake. So what 'sees' the dreams in mind while asleep is the soul. Nothing else.

Now how to reach this soul is the question. The soul is actually doing everything. Our ego, body consciousness thinks it is purposefully doing things. Ego cannot act that way. It can only analyse the mind inputs and take a decision through the intellect. And intellect is again the reflection of the soul in mind. So the decisions are taken by the soul. Guide the mind to certain locations to experience the desires and experience too. We think we experience. We do not. That is the beauty of existence. We are taken for a ride by the soul. The soul created the body mind senses intellect etc and consciously experience all this. We think we experience. The experiencer is actually the soul.

Feel like the Kukkoo laid eggs in the crow's nest?

If we are able to be awake while asleep, we have reached enlightenment. It sounds paradoxical, impossible impractical etc to the ordinary people. But that is the beauty and truth of the creation by the supreme intelligence. That state of always awake is the state of the soul, consciousness, which never sleeps. We sleep because we are bound by Maya, the mind, and are attached to the world, which we think is where we belong to. Actually our minds are attached to the world. How to free this mind to reach our true self is the Brahma vidya (the science of the soul).

It is not required for the soul that all people realise their core state. The soul gains nothing out of that. But while the people think they are bodies with the world, the game plan of the consciousness is working. That is the reason for the eternal smile on Krishna's lips. The soul always smiles, or is in a state of happiness and fun. Most living things cannot see this permanent smile. But some occasional smiles they experience too. Those are the blessings from the soul.

Next time while you smile, analyse why and how you smile. The smile happens when the mind is free, light and hence the cover on the soul is removed. So the soul gets revealed. We feel pleasure in mind. Because the soul is actually pleasure only. We think we smile ! we don't ! The mind gets free and the soul is exposed and is felt as a happiness within. The same comes out as smile through the face and teeth. Unbelievable? Try this at home. When you laugh next time, catch that laugh and analyse how it happened. You will be awe struck about your own hidden identity within have clean fun. No issues. Then you are at your core state.

If in doubt look at the children. Learn from them how to be happy by keeping a simple mind. Bow to the children when all alone without them noticing ! Children are our real Gurus. No need to run after bearded grumpy looking scary Gurus. LOL !
