Posted August 14, 2019 @winterknight I know you're a fan of Ramana Maharshi so you might be able to answer this. Teachings on non-doership really resonate with me, so this is in no way a criticism of Ramana's approach. I'm just curious, why did he talk about there being no doer, rather than saying that there's no one here to either be a doer or not be a doer? Isn't it more true to say that there's no one here in the first place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s only if you identify yourself with the body that nirvikalpa samadhi becomes a special state to be entered or exited. The truth is that like all questions about the experience of enlightenment, the answers are bound to be misleading. 23 minutes ago, Beginner Mind said: @winterknight I know you're a fan of Ramana Maharshi so you might be able to answer this.

Posted August 14, 2019 Honest question. I am still very much a newcomer. When you say you are enlightened, what do you mean? You said you won't discuss your bona fides. Okay. I'm more asking for your definition of enlightened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) @Bill W Enlightenment or Self Realization/God realization is state of Pure Consciousness. Explained it so many times, bored with it. It's You directly "becoming" Source. It is quite different state of Consciousness (in apparent state do not bash me) then this right now. There is Absolute nothing there except one crucial Formless thingy. Edited August 14, 2019 by zeroISinfinity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay. I'm more asking for your definition of enlightened. Enlightenment can't ultimately be defined, but a provisional definition is that it's the direct realization of the falsity of the belief in the individual self due to the the revelation of the silent perfection that cannot be named.

There is Absolute nothing there except one crucial Formless thingy. Formlessness is not separate from form or human experience. You need to go further and realize that form and formlessness are one. This. Now. Here. Is. It. It is all possible states and non-states alike. But from certain states it is easier to "see". You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

Posted August 15, 2019 @Leo Gura I know Leo, that's why I said do not bash me. Just trying to explain @Bill W That Enlightenment is lets say "direct seeing" of his True Nature. It Will look like experience lets say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 15, 2019 @winterknight @winterknight Nirvikalpa samadhi is where body,mind,sense of me vanishes completely and awareness of awareness or self is realised. Contrary to leos claim form and formless are not seperate - the formless alone is realized.If they are not seperate then the formless can never be realised. Technically self enquiry is supposed to take one to Nirvikalpa Samadhi.isnt it ? Or in other words the ignorance of super imposition of body mind sense of me is removed in Nirvikalpa samadhi. Awareness of awareness happens only in Nirvikalpa samadhi. Or self enquiry doesnt lead to Nirvikalpa samadhi ???? Pls clarify ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
