Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 imagine that one took even the first step towards divesting himself of notions of doership, of being a person who accomplishes things. he would have opened in himself the unlimited potential, the creative freedom to build a thousand houses and have no concern for an imaginary future.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi All, Pls read about the enlightment state. Enlightenment is at different levels. At the highest level, it’s experiencing this cosmic consciousness, where you feel oneness with the whole of the cosmos. You no more feel you are a separate, isolated, individual person. In fact, you then become a real individual, one who cannot be divided, and you are one with the Universe, this one song. That is how life is. You are absolutely functional. But still this world, which was so far mechanical, robotic, a habit of living; all this dies, and suddenly life becomes a tremendous experience. And Bhagavan says: “This is possible for all human beings”. It's not just for a few chosen mystics, saints or sages, who'd done years and years of penance. Not so! Bhagavan says: “It's for anybody who seeks, anybody who is serious about discovering a new meaning to their life. There are certain campuses, which are right now being built up; these are campuses with special energies flowing into them, where the cosmic energy and the Earth energies are being synchronized. At these places, if 5000 people from different nations always meditate (one batch after another); if such groups came and spend a month meditating that way, then, Bhagavan says, the human consciousness will undergo a mutation. Thereafter, the state in which these 60 000 people are living in would effect the whole of mankind. The whole of mankind would have a different mind, a different experience of reality. They would live an altogether, fundamentally holistic life. That is what is in store for Man. This is basically the vision of Bhagavad Dharma.
