Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 ego => no ego => enlightenment => reality => no enlightenment => ego: start over conditioned mind => unconditioned mind => MIND => conditioned mind : start over First I see the ego... Then, I see that the ego is temporary... Then, I see ego has no real existence... Then, I see the destruction of ego... and, I see that I too don't exist, nothing does... In this state, I see that I am unbound, unconditioned, untouched, Free... viola I am enlightened Then, I see THAT which sees *it* [i being the unbound, unconditioned, untouched, Free State] and viola... that is the Reality... that is the same Reality which Always has been... that is I AM... that is happiness... that is Bliss With that, I see that there is no such thing as *enlightenment*... Reality is SAME and Only One All Along or as Ramana says: You Always Exist! There can be no break in your being! Now: I see, I think, I taste, I experience, And, I get attached to things, tastes, experiences... and, thus, the ego [= conditioned mind] springs again and the journey has to start from the beginning. Therefore, perhaps, they rightly say... there is nothing like *enlightened forever* and that as long as there is human " life " ... the practice too has to continue...
