Aunty doodle doodle doodle doodle doodle effects Enlightenment is nothing but recognizing who I am.
It is that simple.
Enlightenment does not mean that you're going to start flying up on your chair during a bhajan.
That is fake.
Enlightenment does not mean that you're going to have some miracles and you'll be able to produce gold out of dust.
No.
That is not the meaning of enlightenment.
Is this very clear?
These are all mythological things that were there in our storybooks.
We have grown up with that conditioning back in India and then people who wanted to exploit you exploited you with faking such incidents.
We have to grow up and recognize what is the meaning of pure enlightenment.
Pure enlightenment is simply recognizing who am I.
Period.
Nothing else.
It has got nothing to do with a particular religion.
It has got nothing to do with any pujas,
Any worships,
Any rites or rituals.
It has got nothing to do with any particular path or one particular.
.
.
No.
It is equally available for all the 7 billion people on this planet.
Is this very clear?
Irrespective of whether the person follows a religion or not,
It is available to him.
He has the potential to get enlightened because enlightenment means recognizing who am I.
Yes.
And who am I?
Advaita says,
You already are enlightened.
You already know who you are,
But you play hide and seek with yourself.
You forget yourself.
You become the mind and then you start getting involved in the drama of the mind and then you say,
I like this,
I don't like this.
You become the body.
You start feeling that you are the body.
Then you do things and then obviously if you become the doer,
Then the effects are experienced.
So you become the experiencer and this whole drama has made us forget our true nature.
I am that pure knowingness.
I am not the body and I am not the mind.
The one who recognizes that I am pure knowingness or consciousness or Brahman,
Doesn't matter what word you call it,
He recognizes I am God.
He is in the state of pure enlightenment.
He also says,
It's not just I am God.
He is God.
He is God.
Everybody is God.
There is no difference.
This drop of water has the same H2O that that drop of water has,
That that drop of water has and the ocean has.
Oh,
It is everywhere.
The same H2O is everywhere.
Now it is it just in living beings?
No,
It is in everything.
Everything is nothing but the same knowingness,
The same witnessing.
That is why when I touch a physical object,
I have made an assumption there is an object on the other side.
All I experience is my own mind and my mind or perceiving and seeing is not different than knowing.
Knowing happens at the same time that seeing happens.
Everything is knowingness.
Yes?
And when you come to that understanding that everything is knowingness,
A clarity dawns then how is this state different from a dream state?
How is this waking state different from a dream state?
Even in the dream state,
I am suppose standing on the road and a car comes and hits me.
I feel pain.
I start crying.
There is fear.
There is anger.
There is hatred.
Everything happens in the dream state like it happens in the waking state.
Oh,
These two states are not true states.
That means these are happening in something else.
So the deep sleep state where there is no physical object,
Where there is no mind object,
There there is pure consciousness,
The pure awareness.
Just because there is no object in it,
It seems like darkness.
Yes?
But really it is just the experience of absence of objects.
I am that pure knowingness,
That pure consciousness.
So you start recognizing that pure consciousness is like a pool or a big ocean inside which the dreaming state starts means the mind comes up with I thought and then it has perception,
Sensations,
Thoughts,
Feeling and inside that there is a small waking state that comes up.
All this he understands not intellectually,
Experientially.
Yes?
So waking state is inside the dream state and the dream state is inside this pure knowingness.
This pure knowingness is everywhere.
Yes?
I am pure knowingness.
You are pure knowingness.
Everything is knowingness or consciousness or Sakshi or Brahman,
Whichever word you like.
Oh,
Everything is God.
When this becomes clearer and clearer and he dwells there longer and longer automatically cravings drop off and little things of the ego,
I like this,
I don't want to do this,
Why did you talk to me like this?
These things drop off because it all seems so petty.
I am the knower of everything now.
Yes?
And when he is in the knowingness,
Everything looks exactly the way you see it.
His body will go through a waking state,
It will go through a dream state,
He will go into deep sleep state.
Yes?
But when you go into deep sleep state,
You are totally gone.
Yes?
He knows that he is pure consciousness.
Just knowingness is there.
He is not seeing anything.
He is very clear that the substratum of all these states is the pure consciousness.
They are not three separate states happening one after the other,
But it is within pure consciousness that the dream happens and within dream that the waking happens.
There's this absolute clarity,
Absolute clarity that I am pure consciousness.
So he's not experiencing anything different than you.
Nothing.
Even the ego is there.
The only difference is he does not become born with the ego.
He does not say I did this,
I am doing this,
I like this,
I don't like this,
Then drama,
That is cut off.
You get it?
He is the knower of the mind coming up.
He is knower of the thoughts coming up.
He is no more involved.
Super clear?
This is called the Turiya state.
When you have completely broken yourself from that so called I thought,
It is called the Turiya Avastha.
It is not a separate Avastha,
Fourth Avastha after deep sleep state.
No.
It is a recognition that the deep sleep state is the biggest state and I am that.
That's it.
Cut off connection between the knower and the ego is Turiya Avastha.
