Lessons from Buddha's Enlightenment

If any sincere seeker is reading this blog and possesses the eternal quest of knowing the truth then I have some knowledge which I should reveal to the whole world. My intention is simple. Extremely simple. I am writing about spirituality because, I know there are some fine souls trapped in the body and trying to get out of this bondage of karma. I am nothing, I am just a medium. The knowledge is coming from brahman, I write it on the blog, reader reads it, then it goes into his/her heart and from his/her heart it goes back to brahman. So, the knowledge travels from Brahman to Brahman via me and you. Let it travel. Don't interfere. Society has badly prepare you to interfere the natural flow. Drop it.

In this post I will write about how Buddha got enlightenment. There is high probability that if you do the same thing what Buddha did you will attain the truth. But, Buddha did very tough penance. He was not even taking food. You may not be able to do that. If you can do that, fine, go ahead. If you can't do that then read this post carefully. So, I devised a technique by which the extreme penance can be relaxed as follows:

Buddha did very tough spiritual practice for 6 years continuously. He met many gurus but no one could satisfy his thirst of truth. Finally, he became his own guru. However, this doesn't lessen the importance of guru. Buddha's case is special. He was very advanced seeker. Already almost enlightened. So, he may not need a guru. But, most probably you would need a guru. I am not talking about guru in this post. The trick is you don't need to do exactly what Buddha did for 6 years. Just do what Buddha did on the day of his enlightenment. If you can generate the same condition within you as Buddha generated on the day of his enlightenment you would achieve same. So, what did Buddha do on the day of enlightenment? That's all you need to know. And do atleast that. Buddha did only one thing that day. Only one thing. Before that day he was doing lots and lots of thing. And nothing was happening. He was doing and it was not happening. He stopped doing and it happened. Why he stopped doing is not that important. Important is he stopped doing. He stopped everything and it happened. It looks funny, but that's how it is and that's how it should must be. If you also stop, it will happen to you also. Whole life we work like a donkey and nothing happens. If it will happen, it will happen quickly otherwise it may not happened in billions and trillions of life. Like it happened to King Janak. One of the fastest realization ever happened in the history. It happened to him within a second. That's what is the power of Gyan. Gyan is most powerful that's why fastest. Bhakti can be slow. But to eternity slow or fast doesn't matter. Slow and fast is for you. The eternity has nothing to do with slow or fast. So, Buddha's mind has nothing to do that day. He was awake and mind had nothing to do. So, his mind simply disappeared and truth appeared. Mind always needs an object. Mind cannot work without an object. So, once the object is dropped mind simply disappears. And once mind disappears truth appears. Remember, that's why I had said - Either you exist or God exists. It fully applies to Buddha. When Buddha was existing, that is his mind was existing, that is he was doing something, then God, that is truth never existed for him. When his mind dropped, that is he disappeared, truth as God existed. When we are in wake state we have always something to do. Always. Out of your entire life , if you can mange to get few seconds in which you have nothing to do, that is your mind has nothing to do, you are blessed. Before that day, although Buddha had dropped, family, kingdom, fame, etc but he was still with his mind. He was keeping his mind, his ego with him. But, that day he dropped everything. He dropped to the extent that he had nothing left to drop anymore and that's how he got the truth. So, if you can simulate Buddha's day of enlightenment in your life you might attain truth.

Philosophy and Practical

You do anything and it will become frustrating one day. I tried it. Enlightenment is the only thing which will never become frustrating or boring. Because, at the time of enlightenment "I" doesn't exist. Remember one thing- Either you exist or Truth exists. Both cannot exist together. No possibility. At a time only one will exist. Either you or truth. And mostly you exist. Because, truth is so subtle that even the slightest perturbation can wrap the truth. Can hide the truth. That's why society could alter the truth. You never know whose fault it is - it's a truth's fault or it's society's fault. Sometimes, in spite of so much knowledge and understanding about life you still don't know what's happening. I have become bored of knowing the things. Society taught us that the more you know the better you are. According to me the less you know the better you will be which society won't like. Some of the professors didn't like me for the reason I refused to know more. But when I was knowing more, topped in the school they liked me. But their liking was conditional. Anything conditional is ephemeral. Because, that condition can vanish one day.

Coming to practical...

The one very fundamental thing I wanted to state out here is - see, if you understand then you don't have to do anything. You are done. You don't have to do Pranayaam and meditation provided you understand. This called Gyan Yoga. No need to meditate on the Agya Chakra if you understood. And it's so easy to understand that you can't understand. Because, society has always prepared you to understand difficult subject. So, our ability to understand easy thing is lost. Look at the Ramanna Maharshi. He was not a Yogi but still his knowledge was of very high order. However, it's always recommended to meditate and pranayaam. There is no harm in that.

In Hinduism they talk about 7 chakra energy centers. Muladhar, Swadhisthan, Manipur, Anahaat, Vishuddha, Agya and Sahasrar. Eeach center has it's attributes. Meditation on these centers are very helpful. It's said if your Sahasrar is open then you are almost God. These centers are described in the ancient Yoga scriptures. However, as I said - you may not have to know all these once you understand the core of the existence. Because, these are just expansion of the existence. Existence is root. Rest are just details. So, I don't give much stress on Chakra meditation rather I have stresss on the existence. Know the root of the roots. Rest will all follow...

Truth and False

Anything which has a cause is False. Anything which is created by human is False. Only thing which has no cause is the truth - that is existence. Existence has no cause. It's just there. Without any reason. Without any purpose. It's simply there. Nothing can be done about it. No body could ever did. You can do something where there is a cause, where there is a scope of doing something. Right? There is no scope of doing anything for existence. Because existence is causeless. The final and only reality. Ask Buddha or Jesus why does existence exist? He won't answer you. Because you are asking a wrong question. And even if this question is correct they don't know the answer. And even if they don't know the answer it's not a problem. Problem comes when you know something. That's where the whole problem comes. Not knowing anything is far and far better than knowing something. Because you know only what has a cause. Then it has purpose. Then it expands into chain of purposes. And whenever that cause is lost the purpose is also lost. Existence has no purpose associated with it. It's just plainly there. We create purpose. We humans create purpose. Then we fight to achieve that purpose. If you look at the human history. There are recorded 15000 wars in last 5000 years. What a shit figure. That itself shows what a perverted civilization we have. Trust me - we have not yet witnessed peace. We have no idea what is called peace. No one the earth knows what is peace. Because so far we have only fought. Look at the figure. Either we fight or we do preparation for the next fight. On top of that cold war is always there. That's what we have been doing since the very beginning of the civilization. Hardly anyone among billions and trillions of people is able to achieve peace. What's wrong going on. Why such a perverted civilization. Everybody is in constant mood of war. I want to see whole world full of people like Jesus and Buddha. I don't want to see big big scientist with perverted attitude. If even a single person is unhappy that means the whole humanity is unhappy. Because, that person is an integral part of humanity. Society is definitely going in the wrong direction. Otherwise, we would had not so less number of enlightened being. The reason behind this is society always stress on something which has a cause. There should be some cause and some purpose of what you are doing. If there is no purpose you are doing nothing. That's what the holy crap society has taught you. Don't get surprised if society is producing pervs and morons and low temper fellas.

Fundamentally, everyone has that potential to get connected with divine. But, why so less number of people is able to do that. Why only Ram Krishna and Vivekananda and no one else after that. What went wrong. Perhaps society doesn't want you to become like them. Look at what happend to Jesus. Ceaser crucified him. The meoment you start acting which has no defined purpose society will send you pain. Because you are becoming causeless. Society doesn't know anything which is causeless. We need to to have proper baseline of understanding of what is truth what is false. As I said - anything which has a cause is false. Now this has to be understood completely. Say I made an empire. Then I am the cause of that empire. Right?

Therefore empire is false. One day it may not exist. Roman empire was dismantled. Anything which has a cause will be dismantled one day. Any religion which was created will be destroyed. Be it Buddhism or Jainism or Christianity of even Hinduism. A time will come when none of these religion will exist. The creator of these religion was aware of it. Anything which is created, it's seed of destruction is automatically created. For example we take birth. That's why we die. Birth is the cause. Life is the process. Death is effect. Only existence is causeless. So, it Will be never destroyed. No possibility. It was always there and it will be always there. I or you may not be there but the existence will be always there.

Therefore, the existence is the only truth. Rest all is the false.

Simplification of Truth

We have many prophets. Every body profounded their truth. Jesus said - "Love is god", "Knock and it will opened" etc. Buddha said that 8 rules. Everybody profounded something right? What they profounded was correct. Very correct. No body can question on that. So, what does it mean exactly? Does it mean that those who don't follow their principles won't get truth. No, that's the not the case. Truth is even more simpler. More than what they stated. Today, I am going to profound my truth. Which none of the prophet profounded ever. Mind you, I am not saying they were wrong. They were all right. There must be some reason why they didn't tell you. Or may be they told but it was not documented anywhere. Propaganda. But, now I will reveal that truth to the whole world. And it is so simple that you would be surprised. But before I do that I will describe another view of the truth they profounded.

Take example of Jesus. He said - "Love is GOD". So, that means he is asking you to love everybody. That is love as much you can. Right? If you do so, you would attain truth. That's true. But what if one doesn't do so. He won't get the truth? All prophet says if you follow my guidelines you will get truth. But they don't say if you don't follow what will happen. Right? They didn't tell you that whole universe is in the process of natural evolution. So, even if you don't follow them you would get truth but sometime later. May be next life, next to next life...When you follow their guidelines, you get truth faster. Which you were to get in thousands of life time, you can get in this current life. That's what they are saying to you. Their teaching will only speed up the process. And trust me, it doesn't matter you attain the truth today or billion years later. Time has infinite existence. Somewhere in the future you will hit the truth. Even if you don't follow any path, you would be part of natural evolution. But, it will happen slowly. On it's own. You don't have to do anything. Even if you hate everyone - doesn't matter. Your hating is part of existence, and when it will spread across infinite existence of time it will fade away. Everything will fade away ultimately, be it good or bad. Only difference these Prophets make is that they accelerate the natural evolution I just described. There are many reason this knowledge was not downpoured in any religion. This knowledge is so powerful that it has power to eradicate all the religions and prophets and Gods or anything. That's why it was not told to you. But, now I revealed that knowledge which had been laying in my heart since many years. Trust me, they didn't tell you many thing. Many things were left for you to understand. They just gave you a push, an impulse. After that it's all yours.

Ashtavakra was quite close to what I am saying. He said every thing is happening on it's own, just observe them. Be the observer. I am saying even if you don't become observer - still OK. So, whatever you are doing (good or bad) is OK. Go ahead with that. Just do (good or bad). Don't worry whether you are doing good or bad. Whatever you do is OK. Your good and bad deeds will fade away in the infinite existence of time. And whatever is there in your consciousness that's anyway part of existence. And only existence is all there is!!!So here I am simplifying the truth for you:

"Whatever you are doing is the truth"

None of the prophet dared to say simpler truth than this. No body in the entire history. Not even Ashtavakra. But Ashtavakra was very close to what I am saying...This will be probably the last post on the truth unless otherwise required. Because, there is nothing beyond this.

Shubh

अब कुछ लिखने का मन नही करता

अब जादा कुछ लिखने का मन नही करता। जितना लिखा काफ़ी है. अगर तुम एक बात भी समझ गए टू काफ़ी है. जादा लिखने से तुम confuse हो जाओगे. तुम पहले से ही काफ़ी confuse हो. मैं तुम्हे और confuse नही करना चाहता. सत्य को जादा बार लिखने से उसकी पुनरावृति होने लगती है. क्योंकि सत्य एक है. जितना मैंने लिखे उतना ही है. इस से जादा लिखने का कुछ है भी नही. मेरे और बुद्ध मे जादा कोई भेद नही है. क्योंकि अस्तित्व हर जगह बराबर है. बुद्धत्व का मतलब अस्तित्व से जुड़ने से है. वहाँ व्यक्ति नही रहता वहाँ शुद्ध अस्तित्व रहता है. सिद्धार्थ टू उसी दिन मर गया था जिस दिन उन्हें ज्ञान मिला था. शरीर टू बस माध्यम है जिसमे सत्य प्रकट होता है. जिसमे सत्य का आविर्भाव होता है. तुम हटो तभी तुम्हे ज्ञान मिलेगा. तुम ही ज्ञान को तुम तक नही पहुँचने देते. तुम्हारी किताबी बुद्धि सत्य को तुम तक नही पहुँचने देती. इसलिए टू विद्वान आदमी को सत्य नही मिलता है. सत्य मिलता है निर्मल ह्रदय की आदमी को. शुद्ध वृत्ति हो जिसकी. किताबी आदमी ऐसे स्लेट की तरह होता है जिसपर कुछ पहले से ही लिखा हो. अब उसपर कुछ नया लिख पाना सम्भव नही है. सत्य उसपर कभी नही लिखा जाएगा. क्योंकि वह पहले से ही लिखा हुआ है. अब उसमे सत्य को लिखने की कोई जगह नही है. सारा जगह अहंकार से भरा हुआ है. कहाँ लिखोगे? लिखने के लिए थोरा खाली स्थान टू चाहिए? अहंकार ने सारे स्थान को भर लिया है. इसलिए मैं कहता हूँ अहंकार त्यागो.
अगर तुम ध्यान करोगे टू तुम्हे सत्य के दर्शन हो सकते हैं. मई ये नही कहता की बिना ध्यान किए सत्य नही मिलता है. खूब मिलता है. बिना ध्यान किए ही सत्य मिलता है. बस ध्यान थोरा प्रायोगिक है. करो टू थिक न करो टू भी थिक. एक बात जो मुझे कभी ध्यान मे पता चला था वो तुम्हे बताता हूँ. अभी भी अव्यक्त का बहोत कम हिस्सा व्यक्त हुआ hai. इसलिए टू इस ब्रह्माण्ड मे जादातर स्थान खाली है तुम एक कमरे को ही लो. कमरे का ९९% से अधिक हिस्सा खली होता है. वहाँ सिर्फ़ हवा होती है. तुम परमाणु को ही लो. एक परमाणु मे भी ९९% से अधिक हिस्सा खली होता है. परमाणु के नाभि और एलेक्ट्रों को बीच मे बहोत सारा खाली स्थान है. तुम अगर सौर परिवार की भी लो. वहाँ भी वही हाल है. सूर्य और पृथ्वी के बीच १५ करोर किलोमीटर का खली स्थान है. उसी तरह से अगर तुम पूरे ब्रह्माण्ड का आयतन निकालो और ठोस पदार्थ का आयतन निकालो टू तुम पाओगे की ठोस पदार्थ का आयतन खली स्थान के आयतन के सापेक्ष कुछ भी नही है. इस से पता चलता है की अभी अव्यक्त थिक से व्यक्त नही हुआ है इसलिए इतने खाली स्थान हैं.

जब तुम्हे सत्य मिलेगा टू तुम यकीन नही कर पाओगे की अरे ये इतना आसान था पर जब तुम्हे सत्य मिलेगा टू तुम, तुम न रहोगे तुम ख़ुद ही सत्य हो जाओगे।
मेरा बस तुमसे एक निवेदन hai. तुम मेरे शब्द को मत पकारना. तुम हमेशा से यही करते आए हो. तुम शब्द ही पकर लेते हो. तुम शब्द मे छिपे भाव को पक्रो. शब्द टू बस माध्यम hai, जिस से भाव प्रकट होता hai.

इतना कठिन तो नही था

इतना कठिन तो नही था. था काफ़ी आसान. इतना आसन की होता नही था. होने के लिए कुछ है भी नही. सत्य का होने से क्या लेना देना. शुरू मे मैंभी काफ़ी भटका. क्या क्या नही किया. कहाँ कहाँ नही गए. कौन कौन से शास्त्र नही पढ़ा. किस किस साधू महात्मा से नही मिले . की कोई सत्य का दर्शन करा दे. की कोई अस्तित्व से वापस जोर दे. की कोई बुद्धत्व को उपलब्ध कर दे. जितने से मिला उसने वही कहा की ये करो , वो करो , प्राणायाम करो , ध्यान करो. लेकिन करो जरुर. करना इतना जादा महत्वपूर्ण हो गया की सत्य की अभिव्यक्ति भी करने से होने लगी. मेरे दोस्त मुझे फ़ोन कर के पूछते हैं - की क्या कर रहे हो? मेरे लिए इस से गन्दा सवाल कुछ भी हो नही सकता है. इस से जादा गन्दा सवाल पूछना मुश्किल है. क्या करेंगे यार. किसने क्या किया ? आजतक किसी ने कुछ भी नही किया है सब पहले से ही किया हुआ है. तुम जबरदस्ती कर कर के अस्तित्व से सुन्दरतम स्वरूप को दूषित कर देते हो. तुम जो भी कर रहे हो उसके बरे मे तुम्हे कुछ भी नही पता है. तुम वो कर रहे हो जो किया नही जा सकता है. इसलिए तो संसार मे इतना कष्ट और दुःख है. बुध का पहला वचन था की संसार मे कष्ट है. बुद्ध राजकुमार थे. जब एक राजकुमार को कष्ट हो सकता है, तो फिर मैं क्या हूँ. कष्ट इसलिए है क्यों की अव्यक्त से व्यक्त की घटना मे थोरी कमी रह गई थी. नही तो अमृत की सरिता बह सकती थी. हीरे मोटी के पहार हो सकते थे. अरबों खरबों बुद्ध जैसे आदमी पैदा हो सकती थे. अनसूया जैसी पतिव्रता नारियाँ हो सकती थी. अव्यक्त ठीक से व्यक्त मे परिवर्तित न हो सका. हजारों साल मे १-२ बुद्ध पैदा हों उस से क्या होगा. एक बुद्ध काफी नही है पुरी मानवता के लिए. एक बुद्ध कितना करेगा. जितने वो कर सकते थे किए. काफी किए. जिनको लेना थे लिया. वैसे बुद्धत्व की स्थिति मे पहुचने के बाद करने के लिए कुछ bachta नही है. ये तो बुद्ध ka बरप्पन है की वो सम्बोधि की घटना के बाद भी लोगों के लए बोले.

वस्तुतः स्थिति कुछ ऐसी है - जैसे मान लो एक राजा को स्मृति खो जाए और वह भूल ही जाए की वह राजा है और वह यह मान ले की वह रंक है. हमारी स्थिकी बिल्कुल ऐसी ही है हम वस्तुतः बुद्ध है क्योंकि अस्तित्व हर जगह बराबर है. सब अस्तित्व मे समाया हुआ है. अब अस्तित्व बुद्ध का हो या तुम्हारा इस से अस्तित्व को कोई फर्क नही परता. अस्तित्व शुद्धतम है. हमेशा से था समय से भी पहले. और हमेशा रहेगा. इस बात को समझने के लिए थोरा से विवेक चाहिए. थोरा ही काफ़ी है जादा विवेक अहंकार पैदा करेगा. हम बुद्ध नही है, यह मान्यता है. सत्य नही है. अगर मान्यता गिर जाए तो सत्य प्रकट हो जाएगा. इसलिए मान्यता छोर दो. सत्य को तुम्हारी ओर प्रवाहित होने दो. तुम्हारी मान्यता सत्य के प्रवाह को रोक देती है. इस से सत्य का तो कुछ नही बिगड़ता है, पता तुम्हारा सबकुछ बिगार जाता है. सत्य की प्रवाह अत्यन्त ही सूक्ष्म और शीतल है. मंद मंद प्रवाह है जिसे तुम्हारी शिला रुपी मान्यता रोक देती है. वही मान्यता जब प्रगाढ़ हो जाती है तो वो अहंकार का रूप धारण कर लेती है. फिर अहंकार करता भाव पैदा करता है की -I am the doer. फिर यही करता भाव ले doobta hai. Jahan करता है wahan सत्य नही हो sakta. Wahan तो संसार है

इसलिए अगर तुम मान्यता छोर दो, तो तुम्हे सत्य प्रकट होगा. दुःख है नही, दुःख मान्यता का है. हमने मान लियाकी दुःख है, इसलिए दुःख है. दुःख वस्तुतः नही है. वस्तुतः सुख भी नही है. सत्य सुख और दुःख के ऊपर है

क्योंकि अव्यक्त मे कोई सुख दुःख के लिए कोई जगह नही है तो व्यक्त मे सुख दुःख कैसे होगा.
