Enlightenment 31
The question that I ask is Am I enlightened? I dont know. Whatever I am experiencing and understanding higher level spiritual concepts termed as enlightenment, then I am. The understanding is never ending and no light at the end of tunnel. So whatever I understood is negligible. What it is like to be enlightened and see the real picture or light or whatever it is? I hear there are many enlightened, not sure what they experienced. What I experience I believe is amazing and divine.
If we analyze the people whom we believe god or godly characteristics like Krishna, Jesus, Prophet Mohammad and Buddha attained enlightenment and established and preached religions and it is being followed for so many centuries, there is some truth to it. I believe they couldn't express it completely because the humans were are not matured enough. Now in the maya of science and other wants, we completely drifted away from God.
I am very curious and kind of firm in my quest to experience it. But it is up to vishnu. Whatever i write sometimes i feel it is imagination and there it reveals they are truths which are being experienced hidden in my deepest conscience and it is bubbling up. As it does I write. Why I write? I dont know. This makes me special and great? No because, many before me experienced greater things. When I look at that my knowledge is negligible. I dont want to be lost in this vastness.
Let it come and dawn on me. Even simple truth or best divine truths all to be considered as glimpses of enlightenment. In that I see Vishnu.
Enlightenment 32 -Prana in higher realms
This creative energy is everywhere in our Universe. We consume this energy by pancha boothas like water, air, fire, earth and space. The creativeness of this energy can be seen on earth in various forms. Earth creation and its atmosphere precisely balanced for creation to thrive. If the pacha boothas are pure then beings on earth are healthy and alive. Our advancements polluted the nature which in turn have its effects. We are producing oxygen commercially now for patients. Human species will survive may not be others.
How is this energy and higher and lower realms? In the higher worlds, the natural energies are pure the divine beings thrive, glow and radiate. The prana is at its best and enhances the soul and conscience. The pursuit of the true infinite is much more easier. The higher worlds dont have these kinds of laws which prevents them pursuing higher truths. It is easier to step into higher pedestal and experience the infinity. You see everywhere it never ends. It seems all laws are disappeared and you are standing alone. Sometimes confused and astonished. Move on with a path in a direction.
In the lower worlds, the prana is not that effective because of its environment. The energy is same but not effective. The beings in these worlds are far away from higher conscience. The nature works in an opposite way. We all see things moving forward. In some it may he reverse.
Prana Vaayu is key. As a yogi strive to pursue the ultimate goal. Many started new, struggled, failed and realized to correct and move on. The hinderances are boons to assert your commitment. The benefits are plenty on earth and also after life. Vishnu will never abandon you.
Enlightenment 33 - Nothing Permanent and Ever Changing
There was a great debate about cosmos between Einstein and Hubble. Einstein said that cosmos is static. Hubble proved with help of telescope and plotting the location of stars that universe is expanding and constantly changing. The event in history started new era and discoveries.
So all religions says that nothing is permanent. Only permanent is soul and conscience till it reaches Vishnu. Everything is changing around us every second. We should recognize the greatest truth. We are not the same person as last year many cells are destroyed and created. Every 10 years we are a new person. That is the brilliance of creation. All our scriptures says dont go behind material things, they are not permanent. Instead focus on God. The moment you recognize that money is not permanent, still you will use it but not attached to it.
Ever changing. Our universe is expanding every second, new ones are created and old ones are destroyed. In this changing phenomenon orders and mayas are established. Say we are not suppose to break a maya or know certain truths, as a human we did discover something. The creation masks it with new maya. The degree of maya and the capability to understand and perceive is limited. Yogic way provides super human capabilities to elevate, not use it on earth.
Vishnu blesses with extraordinary capability only, if I don't interfere with creation and its nature. That is why many say dont show what you know. Focus on higher realms
Enlightenment 34 - The canvas of creation
We all wonder how did the creation start? Lot of opinions and speculations. Being a human it may be tough to understand but we keep working and pondering on it. Sometimes to understand the higher level of truths, small logical steps are needed. So say Brahmma has infinite space or canvas to create. Somewhere it must be started small. So the infinite becomes a finite canvas. The imagination must run wild in creating beautiful and ugly things. Beautiful doesn’t mean it is good and ugly doesn’t mean it is bad. Any creation must self sustain and work for its existence.
The canvas Einstein talked about is called space time. When a heavy object is created, it creates a dip, thus bending the space time and creating a gravity, to keep the smaller objects under its control. Einstein believes that if there is bigger explosion in the cosmos, the waves will create a disturbance in space like waves in the water. It is not yet proved. Everything is working in its place to stabilize the creation. If it is cluttered too much at one place, the creation may not sustain.
Scriptures says that it is in yoga nidra Vishnu expresses his imagination and cosmos comes out. Rishis goal is to attain higher conscience perceptional things. They observe nature, learn and apply. It is not that invented greatest things and never told the world. Once you connect to the higher realm, you implement your karma and move on. Their goal is to advance their vision how to reach Vishnu. For the times they lived, excelled in many things, doesn’t mean that they invented everything that modern world is using.
Imagine the cosmos as painting canvas and we are beautiful expressions of Vishnu.
Enlightenment 35 - The eternity of time
For us the times moves forward. We have this imagination that we want to go back in time and see the things that happened in real time. To measure the time as accurately as possible and try to use it everyday life was a major problem at least till 200 years back. What is the time? It depends where you are. There are 2 concepts developed, one based on the moon which is waxing and waning easy to visually estimate day and time. Day time mostly based on position of sun and shadow. This obsession lead many fascinations of how it impacts humans daily life.
For us time is fixed based on sun and moon as well as life time of us. In that we frame time. At least now we have the depth to ask what is the time means, depends upon the place on earth. Based on average we live 60 to 80 years. What happens if this is increased to eternity or thousand of years. Unbelievably long time and new life style must be designed.
I am fascinated by the idea of living longer and younger. Materialistically a great achievement that humanity is trying to achieve and it may happen. How this is useful spiritually? We are here for a specific experience and to perform karma based on the solar system creation. Once this is done, we move on to next janamam and experiences. This will hinder the progress of my journey. Many may say a human living 100 years is also karma as designed by Vishnu. Again it is divine play to test you.
Understanding infinite nature of time is very important to understand vishnu.
Enlightenment 36 - Experiencing the vastness
Today it is little tough for us to experience vastness on earth, because we have all scientific equipments to circumvent it. If we lost in biggest desert Sahara, looking at the sand everywhere and scorching sun, we feel the vastness and survival is rare unless you are prepared for it. Similarly, if we are lost in a forest, survival is better but getting out it is a challenge. The biggest one comes, when you are in the middle of the ocean all by yourself, the vastness and nature's sound is intimidating. If you are looking into/in space, I really feel the vastness. It makes me how negligible I am, still the ego is bigger than this.
In deeper meditations, the vastness is slowly revealed as Vishnu's force slowly descends on me. First time I see what at the higher level than what we are on earth. Never ending creations, rearranging the objects on its own and same thing spread in every direction. As you keep moving, new portals open and it repeats its pattern. It is new reality, where time never exists or diluted. Nothing moves based on time. They exist, die and morph. Still it is endless.
When we seek for something greater called enlightenment. It comes with many incomprehensible things. When experienced first time, numb chilling experience sets in. All alone, vastness, same thing repeated everywhere and it never ends. Keep going in any direction it is same. Just relax and absorb the new reality. You see it is not same everywhere. On earth everyday is same, but our experience makes it different. The vastness is same.
If you want higher level things, You have to be ready for it and Vishnu will help you.
Enlightenment 37 - All possibilities possible
On earth all possibilities are limited. If you are a human better than other beings. We are under the assumption that, we are superior. In fact nature can wipe us out in no time. That is not its purpose. It is alive with the hope that we will achieve great things in spirituality. It waits for this happiness. Many yogis are not perfect at least she happy that we are aiming and practicing it. In every aspect, we are limited. Like only small spectrum of light we can see. physical and mental abilities are restrained too. For us how much ever we try to understand infinity, we cant fully grasp it.
In this limited nature and possibilities, we can achieve many things. To move to higher realms, there are many things we need to be qualified. Imagine, suddenly you can do anything you would like. There is no limitation. Your imagination is your limit. In this world you can achieve anything you like. This is kind of an experience, how the yogi restraints and uses his new found power. Initially overwhelming. Everywhere what you are imagining, it is happening. Keep going wild with imaginations. You are the god of this world and your will is the natural law. It morphs into what you wish. Many of us will be excited to be like this.
Vishnu tests the yogi by bestowing this power. All along we are always praising and chanting the all possible things he can do. Suddenly we can do the same. What now? It will be intoxicating. Yogi should be very careful. Once real aanandam is tasted, we will not seek many pleasures. We will do things what is needed to reach Vishnu. The possibilities and expressions we see on earth, is not that many. I am talking about much more all possibilities.
Currently only Vishnu with all possibilities.
Enlightenment 38 - The Ascension of Soul
What happens after death is a big mystery for us. In my opinion everyone scared of it. Spoke to many, closer to death, even if they are old like 90, They are scared because Not sure what is going to happen and scared they they not part of the reality of earth. Not sure Whether we will be reborn again or go to heaven/hell or to higher realm or born as an animal on earth. The departing of the soul is not an easy process. Only yogis who are connected to vishnu will be happy because the chances are brighter to see him in different reality.
There are 2 theories what happens after death. One the soul is an individual and moves on to its next course of journey in its karma. The previous relationships are gone. Even if they recognize the past, it is not relevant anymore. The second theory is that the evolved soul waits in higher temporary realm. There it says like 1 day is like one year on earth. It waits for its relations and they come, moves on. There, it forms new relations and new karma takes over.
Highly evolved souls which are determined by Vishnu, will cut off its relations and focuses on higher spiritual growth. What I will be blessed with only Vishnu knows. Hope he blesses me with Vaikuntam and next to him. Even if he takes a different view, I may have the privilege to discuss my next venture which could be higher or lower.
A yogi should always strive for higher aspirations and goals. There is lot to evolve. Each realm teaches something and blessed to experience the new reality.
Enlightenment 39 - Beatitude : noun. supreme blessedness; exalted happiness. any of the declarations of blessedness pronounced by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.

In summary, the inner happiness spoken of in the Beatitudes is God's gift of blessing granted to those who choose to be disciples.
Enlightenment 40 - Beatitude in Higher realms.
The various planes and worlds of the higher existence may appear to be too distant, almost unreachable to man. They may call for great effort of ascension before they become accessible. But the domains of Bliss are not far. They are ever near, ever close to the spirit that seeks them with ardor, with intensity of aspiration. For behind all that exists here on earth there is the flow of Ananda; in fact it is this Bliss that makes all existence at all possible. One has only to turn to it, to seek for it, with faith and persistence, to probe behind the appearances—however contradictory they may seem—and it yields itself to experience in a variety of ways.
These realms of Beatitude are outside the reach of the normal human faculties which are mostly turned outwards. They are untouched by the stress and struggle of circumstances and forces obtaining in the outer world. Though they are thus far away from the field of toil and suffering, they are yet palpable to some deeper feeling somewhere in man. Their inviolable bliss makes itself felt near though it has not been possible to possess it.
It is in brief moments of subtler experience as in dream or inward concentration of the being or during deep meditation, when the consciousness is relatively freed from the clamping hold of physical existence, that these realms of Beatitude are glimpsed, even beheld for a time. These experiences in the inner domains, however, leave a bright and unforgettable impression on the consciousness.
These realms of Beatitude come into the ken of man in various ways. It may be that they appear as part of his imaginations or linger as transcripts of his dream-experience, not concrete as physical things on earth, and disappear before they are firmly held. All the same they are facts of some eternal existence somewhere, and the impact they have on the being of man is more vivid, more lasting in its joyous trail than any of the earth’s fleeting experiences.
These are the domains of deathless Light, luminous soothing belts of Peace, flowing seas of Joy, sunlit realms, where grief is not, that vouchsafe themselves to the grasp of man’s consciousness for however brief a moment. Such an experience can impress itself on man and form a permanent part of his consciousness or leave a memory which comes alive at will. What is once so experienced can always be called back in recollection and relived in a subtle way.
