Even a clock that does not work is right twice a day !!!


Enlightenment is not about ‘never having a desire again’ but knowing how to fulfill it.Many people believe that Buddha said that ‘desire’ is root of pain and suffering – he never said that. For even desire of enlightenment and desire of no-desire is desire still. Instead he said “The unfulfilled desire is cause of pain and suffering.”
And sure we do agree; when what we want is not fulfilled the suffering begins.
Enlightenment is feeling which makes Jesus say, “Seek and you shall find.” It is beingness from which Krishna says, “All your desires rise from me and are fulfilled in me.” It is that knowing from which Buddha says, “Lotus grows in a pond of mud.” And it is same place from which Abraham says, “You are that which you call God.”
In nutshell, enlightenment is feeling which comes from knowing that which Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, God, Abraham, Ram, Nature, healers know. And if you will ask of me, “What is that they know? I want to know it too and be enlightened.” A question raised by someone,I answered, “If you are not ready to listen yet, then it will sound like most stupid thing to you, but if you are ready then it will make most sense to you.”
Enlightenment is not a degree that which once attained is yours forever. It is a state of mind constantly reached for.It’s a feeling that comes and goes but since you know way back home – you go there again.
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
