Enlightenment Is Beyond Practice

[Rishi Vani]

Enlightenment Is Beyond Practice

Enlightenment means being in a state of  not knowingness. When  one is open to all possibilities and does not attach himself to his knowingness or to his past, this   state of being a zero all the time       is  Enlightenment.

Being somebody is knowingness. When one attaches oneself to one’s knowingness like engineering, Doctorate or accountancy, one limits oneself. This identification with one’s knowingness is called Ahamkara – ego.

Normally, all of us are brainwashed into being a ‘Somebody,’ and we operate  from  this  ego  state.

To live and operate as a Nobody,  that of actually who you are, is enlightenment.

Nobody is born a Hindu, Muslim, Indian or American. Actually we are none of these. But we identify with them and operate in a way to protect this somebody-ness. This is the ignorance  of  the  world.

To live in the world with no identifications, concepts of what you are or what others think of you  is  Enlightenment.

To live as a ‘Nobody’ beyond Ego  as  a  -  Zero  is  Enlightenment.

Enlightenment means to give up    all efforts to protect the ego. In     this state one transcends the cause and effect relationship. One is beyond the bondage of Karmas and becomes totally unpredictable. Everything which has a cause effect relationship can be predicted. Predictability comes only to a ‘Somebody’. A ‘Nobody’  is  totally  unpredictable.
