Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have no interest in " becoming " enlightened. I have no interest in " becoming " a mukta. I have no interest in " achieving " liberation. I have no interest in " achieving " moksha. I have no interest in " achieving " nirvana. I am not a Advaita pioneer or scholar like Shankara. I am not a relinquisher like Ramana. I am not a famous philosopher like J. Krishnamurti. I have not written a bestseller like Tolle. I don't have charisma like Osho. I am not a social leader like Gandhi. I am not a scientist like Einstein. Yet, I can't deny that I am enlightened. ....and, this I can say without wanting any sex, money or fame from it. To me, it is a simple and truthful expression of truth as I know it. To me, it is like saying: ....I mayn't run like Usain Bolt! ....I mayn't play golf like Tiger Woods! ....I mayn't be as pious as Gandhi! ....I mayn't show scientific acumen of Einstein! ....I mayn't have blockbusters like Tom Cruise or a fan following like Madonna! .....yet, I can't deny that my blood too is red! Do I have to run like Bolt or be famous like Tom Cruise or have disciples like Niz in order to have " red blood " ? I don't think so. Yet, when it comes to " enlightenment " , I do think some (make it " many " ) of us think that way. Luckily blood is a " thing " and thus, can be easily checked and verified. ....by the way, just like Tom Cruise, Madonna as well as like Ramana... I too get into deep dreamless sleep... sometimes, " consciously " ... other times, unconsciously! And, I know I can't argue like Shankara? What does it say? I am afraid perhaps, it says nothing to the 'believers' among us! BTW... is Tom Cruise's blood really red? I know it is expected to be. But, I haven't really seen it myself!
