Do not think the enlightenment is going to make you special, it’s not. If you feel special in any way, then enlightenment has not occurred. I mean a lot of people who think they are enlightened and awake simply because they have had a very moving spiritual experience. They wear their enlightenment on their sleeve like a badge of honor. They sit among friends and talk about how awake they are while sipping coffee at a café. The funny thing about enlightenment is that when it is authentic, there is no one to claim it. Enlightenment is very ordinary; it is nothing special. Rather than making you more special, it’s going to make you less special. It plants you write in the center of a wonderful humility in innocence. Everyone else may or may not call you enlightened, but when you are enlightened the whole notion of enlightenment and someone who is enlightened is a big joke. I use the word enlightenment all the time; not to point you toward it but to point you beyond it. Do not get stuck in enlightenment. – Adyashanti … How many of you believe you can quiet the mind through effort? You can’t do that. It’s not the effort that makes you quiet your mind. It’s the intelligent understanding that you have no mind to begin with. Then you just keep still and everything takes care of itself. ~ Robert Adams … Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.– Paramahansa Yogananda… Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become. Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself. – Paramahansa Yogananda Thank you for visiting. Take some time for your self.
