Spiritual Questions - Part 14 (What is awakening?)

Q. What is awakening?
A. A natural noumenon which happens in the phenomenal world and we say it as awakening.

Q. What does the word noumenon means?
A. The dictionary mentions it as "The intellectual conception of a thing as it is in itself, not as it is known through perception."

Q. What happens when a person gets awakened?
A. No-thing happens.

Q. What do you mean No-thing happens.
A. No-thing means the happening of Nothing-ness happens. If there is something related to the mind or the ego - the "I", then we can say something happens. When it is not related to the mind or the I, then what do we say. Because in the awakening there is only No-thing which happens. And, even saying the word "happens" is also in a way wrong. Because it does not happen. It is is always there. Only thing is we get aware of that It is.

Q. What happens after awakening?
A. There will be a huge paradigm shift in perception of every thing.
