Enlightenment"Fine. Do you use the word enlightened? How does a Hindu become enlightened — if we haven’t already covered that?" "Enlightenment happens anytime," he explained. "Perhaps you might have also experienced sometimes when you sit down and you want to do something. There is an insight, something inside you which says, ‘Do like this.’ That is enlightenment. And that light comes not from the soul or from the intellect or from within — it comes from God. "So, if we sit in meditation and join ourselves — our own self with God, which is called yoga — automatically that light which is with God comes to me. It flows through me. That is enlightenment." He continued, "When I join myself to, or make contact with, the divine power, then the divine power itself flows through my self, and that self within me is called shakti, which means that the soul is getting the power from God. And that power is what Hindus call enlightenment." |
