Q&A with Swamiji .....153...Enlightenment as a goal

[Guest guest]

Question from Steve:

Why do so many Gurus suggest or hint there is a final objective

or enlightenment?

 

When we go deeper and deeper withing, is this always relative

or is there a final resting place that is not simply death or non-

awareness, iow, a spiritual objective, not a state of negation,etc

 

Swamiji's response :

There is no limit to infinity. Every time you draw a line, I will

ask what is on the other side?

Thank you for fixing that wondering once and for all. Very, very

helpful.

Swamiji,

So in reality there is no such thing as enlightenment, correct? It is

just a recent word to describe a concept that really just points

towards a concept, correct?
