Guest guest Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Dear Friends, It seems that now a day we are talking too much about a subject we don't know. It is said that, Bodhodaya/Enlightenment is an experience that transcends mind. Many have attained it either through Chakra meditation (Kundalini awakening is the part of it) and through many other means. Since it is an experience that transcends mind (and thus words), those who have experienced it never tried to put it into words, but instead tried only to guide others in the path of sadhana by describing the probable systems that could be followed. We can't even properly describe in words the experience of touching fire or water to one who have not experienced it. We can not even describe what is the color red or blue, in words. Only a person with the same experience can understand it. How can we describe and make a blind person understand what light is in its true sense? We can speak about wavelength, frequency, electromagnetic radiations, light sources, but will that aptly describe light as we experience it?!! So please......My humble plea is, please fiddling with this subject through words!! They can not describe that experience (or even the meditative mood), and let us try to do some sadhana. Follow any method - let it be chakra meditation, zen, yoga, or systems shown to us by great persons like Pathanjali, Budha, Jina, Osho, Jiddu Krishnamoorthi, Ravisankar or any other guru with real experience. (This list of Budhas neither start with budha nor end with enlightened souls of today)Once we start experiencing it, meditative mood/transcending the mind/experiencing the timeless/feeling that immense power then....then only....the words may help and bit, in a conversation between a guru and sishya, who together is following the same path of sadhana........ Till then please.....please.......please don't degenerate this divine experience by pouring our logic (part of mind), words (part of mind), ignorance (part of mind), arguments about an unknown subject (part of an ignorant mind) into an experience that transcends mind....Where everything merges into a single whole...and where time cease to flow.........No, even these words don't pretend to describe that experience.... Let us sit at the feet of divine gurus, who truly experienced it, and follow the unending path of sadhana that extends till death, and try to experience it. And please......please....stop trying to be authentic about a subject that we can not be authentic...Or no body can be authentic when trying to describe it through words.. If there is a soul that has followed the path of meditation at least to some extend, I hope that these words may make some sense.
