Enlightenment is Experiencing the World As It Is

As one begins to truly recognize that the mind has no capacity to recognize truth, that it’s constantly projecting its own made up silliness onto the direct experience of reality, and then then finally begin simply seeing what is without all the additional commentary, life starts to become much simpler. The true reality of who you really are becomes apparent. When the mind stops trying to figure out what’s real and quits making up a false sense of identity, true reality is finally experienced.

Sri Bhagavan describes the experience beyond the mind, the experience we call enlightenment.

You then begin experiencing life, experiencing this very moment right NOW as beautiful and perfect. This is not a judgment. It’s not a belief. It’s not a decision to look at the world in this way. It’s the natural state once the mind drops away.

One finally recognizes that they truly live in heaven now. We all exist in “heaven on earth” in this moment. We have lived here in every moment of our lives, but have been thinking it’s somewhere else. The irony is that people have been trying to figure out how to “get to heaven” only to find that they’ve never left. Hence enlightenment is not a destination, a place to “get to.” Enlightenment is the realization of who you really are.

Again, this is NOT a belief system. It’s the direct experience of having let go of all beliefs and identification with mental chatter.

The most that most of us can do with this information is to either agree and adopt it as a belief, or disagree and reject it as a belief, but it’s still being interpreted as a belief. Allow this video and this article to simply pass through your awareness and be released, the same way air flows into your lungs and then out. Treat all of life with this level of non-attachment.

There is the idea that enlightenment is something special “out there,” that life is about experiencing the extraordinary, the miraculous. In reality, the ordinary is the extraordinary, the ordinary is miraculous. Every moment of Now is experienced for its innate beauty, the beauty of the Divine.

It’s not anything we need to consciously do. It’s only up to us to stop doing. The majesty of life only then becomes recognized for what it truly is.

Unconditional Love radiates as one’s true nature. One does not need to be taught to be loving and kind.

Misery and illusion is what is experienced when one is not experiencing reality, but a mind-made interpretation of reality.

True joy and freedom is your natural state when one transcends identification with the mind completely.
