Unless one has realised you said! Sooooooooooo will one know when they are realized? It is a conscious or unconscious stage? When somebody comes here and say hear ye! hear ye! I AM THE REALISED ONE! I AM THE ENLIGHTENED ONE! What should we do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Well, as to knowing how one has become "enlightened", I started to get an inkling that "it" had happened when I happened to read some personal accounts of people who were "realized" and I found I knew EXACTLY what they were talking about because similar things had and were happening to me. I would read Ramakrishna's descriptions of his own experience and be nodding my head in agreement at his descriptions of states describing the behaviour patterns one would experience when one's consciousness had attained a certain level. For instance: he said that people whose consciousness had been raised to the level of the Vishuddha wish only to talk about spiritual things and grow impatient if any worldly topic is brought up. This happens to me all the time; once,a long while back in the early stages of my practice, I talked to someone ALL NIGHT about Lord Shiva, and I got such an AWFUL burning sore throat I could hardly swallow! I had overactivated my Vishuddha chakra! Other people whose experiences paralleled my own were Gyanamata, the disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda, and Radha Sivananda (?)the female disciple of Shivananda, who lives in British Columbia. I have met many people who were very close to being enlightened and had no idea whatever, so being like this does not make one "special", it is part of a natural human evolutionary process. I simply decided I wanted to get on with it, and so I "put my nose to the grindstone!". There is nothing particularly difficult about achieving it, one has simply to want God more than anything else!
