Spiritual Questions - Part1 (What is enlightenment, karma, etc.)

Q. What is enlightenment?
A. Being in the constant awareness of the Truth.

Q. What is awareness?
A. Being in nothing-ness and in the constant of being with the One.

Q. What is being with One mean?
A. It means there is only One and no-thing else.

Q. How to perceive the One?
A. No one can perceive the One. Because perception is still with the mind. When the mind stops, then the awareness of One happens spontaneously.

Q. What is the Truth?
A. The Truth is that there is only One and the rest is all illusion and even the illusion also lies in the Truth.

Q. What happens when any one knows the Truth?
A. No one can know the Truth by mind. It is not a happening. When the mind stops, the awareness of the Truth is revealed like the sun glows once the clouds disappear. The sun is always there. It is only the clouds which make the sun to not to appear. Just because of the clouds we cannot say that the sun is not present.

Q. So how to clear the clouds (thoughts)?
A. Remove the mind that creates the clouds (thoughts).

Q. How to remove the mind?
A. Just ignore every vibration (thought) that gets generated in it. Do not pay any attention towards them. When you ignore the guest, he will go. No guest would like to stay where he is not entertained. So, don't entertain your thoughts. Don't feed them. If you keep feeding them, they will become stronger and stronger and finally make you to think and act as they please.

Q. Now, during the nights I don't see the sun (laughs)?
A. Yeah, it doesn't mean still that sun is not there. It is very much there. The night is ignorance. You are unable to see the sun because your attention is always outside. So instead of always seeing outside, take a 180 degree turn and look within you will able to see the sun.

Q. What is karma?
A. Karma is nothing but conditional thinking.

Q. How to overcome karma?
A. Just by overcoming one's conditional thinking.

Q. Yeah, but how to overcome one's conditional thinking?
A. Stop the thought process.

Q. How to stop the thought process?
A. By ignoring the thought process.

Q. But, ignoring is also a thought process?
A. Ignore the one which is asking you to ignore the whole process.






Q. Ummm.... I am unable to understand.
A. Who is unable to understand?

Q. I can't say. It's like there is no one which ignores the process.
A. Good. Since there is no one which ignores, the one which is present is only the awareness that there is no one to ignore and there is nothing to ignore. Since, there is nothing to ignore there is nothing to recognize. Since, there is nothing to recognize there is nothing to seek. Since, there is nothing to seek there is no-thing and only nothingness is present and is ever existing. So, your seeking of nothingness does not really need to have an agenda (laughs).







Q. It is so still and silent here (gentle smile).
A. Yeah, I know. Enjoy it (blissful smile).
