Lesson 6 - The Enlightened Sees No Difference
We only see opposites when our vision is limited, when we have not
experienced totally. There is a point of view which resolves all
contradictions and answers all questions. Yet to be experienced is yet
to be understood. Once experienced and understood, the Quiet comes. The
only change that occurs is the awakening of the sahasrara chakra and the
perspective that a mind has which has undone itself, transcended itself
in formless Being and Non-Being, and then returned to the experiences of
form. The experiences are all still there, but never again are they
binding. The fire or life energy, which rises in the normal person high
enough to merely digest the food eaten, rises to the top of the
enlightened man's head, burns through a seal there, and his
consciousness has gone with it. He is definitely different from an
ordinary person. He died. He was born. He is able and capable of knowing
many things without having to read books or listen to others speak their
knowledge at him. His perceptions are correct, unclouded and clear. His
thoughts manifest properly in all planes of consciousness--instinctive,
intellectual and superconscious or spiritual. He lives now, fully
present in all he does. The internal difference that makes a soul a
jnani is that he knows who he is and who you are. He knows Truth, and he
knows the lie. Another difference is that he knows his way around within
the inner workings of the mind. He can travel here and there with his
own 747, without extraneous external conveyances. He knows the
goings-on in far-off places. He is consciously conscious of his own
karma, dharma and that of others. For him there is no apartness, due to
his attainment within the chakras previously described. His only gift to
others, to the world, would be blessings, an outpouring of energy to all
beings from the higher planes where he resides. It is the jnani, the
enlightened being who sees beyond duality and knows the oneness of all.
He is the illumined one, filled with light, filled with love. He sees
God everywhere, in all men. He is the one who simply is and who sees no
differences. That is his difference.
