In this article you will get an idea about what spiritual enlightenment represents and what are
your options in trying to achieve it. You will not find any spiritual enlightenment definition, since this
type of experience is impossible to define, but anyhow there will be hopefully useful guidance into the part
that can be expressed with words.
"People have to find their center – their soul, or vanish as self-aware Beings."
What you need is a fundamental change in your consciousness. If you do not have a feeling for your inner
Being, you will be very poor no matter how much money you might have. We are just
movie spectators who are being absorbed into what is going on in the movie, forgetting that the pictures
on the screen are not real. We neglect the fact that the origin of the motion pictures is in the cinema projector.
Quite like what is described above you receive in your everyday life symbols and archetypal images,
but you forget to look at
their source. When your desire to come closer to the Source is strong enough, you will start
to go up, towards the depths of your soul.
This is the place where you can feel the essence of your Divine
omnipresence, of God in you. The greater your fire of longing to be One, to get into Unity and stay forever
there, the easier you will achieve enlightenment. Because this moment of ultimate embrace is enlightenment.
Spiritual Enlightenment Experience
The spiritual enlightenment can be an utmost joy for your mind; it is more beautiful than the most cherishable moments
that you have ever known of. It is usually only one moment of perfect clarity, and complete knowledge.
When you find your path to spiritual enlightenment, you will see that nothing is lacking, and everything is
very simple.
You will be filled with energy, you will glow and other people will notice this. In that
moment, you will be self-accomplished. You will see that you can do everything but you don't
have to do anything, you can just be. The spiritual enlightenment will fill you with Divine love,
as gently as possible, and to that extent needed by you at that particular moment of time.
In all its shine, enlightenment is a great mercy,
great happiness. It is complete calm, endless clarity and purity, being One with God,
being able to say "I am One
with my Father, I am who I am."
Human language has no words to adequately describe Divine love, neither there are words for
this specific type of spiritual awakening.
In order to be able
to describe a Divine event, your individual consciousness should be as immense as the endless reality.
After the Spiritual Enlightenment
Once the Divine embrace has eased off, and your thoughts have started to come up again, you are approaching
back our physical consciousness as the coarsest part of all the levels of spiritual consciousness.
After you have descended to this plane, your
recollection of the experienced enlightenment is what remains. There is also, of course, your enormous desire
for a new encounter with the Divine in you.
Although the experience of God's dazzling shine lasts relatively short period of time, God releases none
of His children without a
precious gift . You have touched the very source of life,
and the seed of life grows much stronger. After many repeated attempts,
a certain strength that keeps you closer to God is accumulated. This will give you a possibility of
establishing more and more easy contact. You are more aware of yourself,
of everything around you. You are aware of the heavenly bodies, of the whole Universe.
After the spiritual awakening, all things are settling
down, and everything is getting more clear. The process of everyday learning is established.
You have started to learn not only from
books but from the depths of your own Self, from what you really are.
New worlds are opened, new levels are discovered,
new depths of richness of Divine love are revealed. A new center of personality as a whole is formed.
Then you can realize that
one single letter from inside is worth more than tons of literature. Your constant longing for wholeness
in union with
God always remains.
How can you go on with your meditation after the enlightenment? How can you continue
learning how to meditate even more deeply after it?
In fact, your meditation is now much easier,
since you have become increasingly receptive. The feeling of ineffably tender, warm, ubiquitous abundance
of Divine love pervades us everywhere, at every place. Finally, through Divine grace we will achieve
a new enlightenment. “Not by might, nor by power, but
by my Spirit.”
The Divine Self is outside the body, feelings, and thoughts, it is unborn, eternal, without beginning or
end. No sword can cut it, no fire can burn it, it is omniscient, indescribable, and omnipresent – neither
body, nor spirit, nor consciousness, but what is beyond all of that.
Our Everyday Life and Achieving Enlightenment
Life is a gift. This may sound like an average sentence, but it is a great truth.
So, life is a Divine gift. One should try to experience what life is.
There are many life lessons to be learned. Some people could say: That is fantastic, great, let us
go and enjoy it, absorb ourselves in love affairs, entertain ourselves, indulge ourselves in fulfilling our
diverse wants, and spend our lives in different ways.
Is this really what life is? Sure enough it is not.
First, we should thank God for our lives that have been so generously presented to us.
Then we should ask what to do.
Each individual is unique, exceptional, and great, and as such needed in the Universe.
Everyone has his/her own place in the Divine tissue.
Therefore, let us walk the path of spiritual enlightenment in a more dedicate manner.
What is the reason of my life? What should I do? What is the purpose of my existence?
By practicing spiritual growth methods we
will animate the part of our personality that can provide answers to these questions.
But remember one simple thing, your personality is unable to further develop
itself unless it is rooted in its own nature. Only then everything becomes easier
and flows spontaneously in the right direction. Only then you can reconcile the
opposites, be what you are, walk your own path. Once you walk your own path of spirituality,
no specific spiritual technique
is needed. Then your honest desire, will,
constant striving, good habits, tenderness, acting without criticizing, prejudicing, or confronting will
enable your growth. When the
mental energy is awaken and you have become sensitive to the inner
physical processes, the result will not fall behind. All this is
only part of your spiritual possibilities. And don't forget to live your life fully, enjoying it.
