What To Do After Enlightenment?

[Parki]

I heard this many time before that enlightenment is not the end, it's the beginning.

Could you tell me what's after?

Enlightenment is so ecstatic, that it is incomprehensible even to think, to imagine that there can be more. But this is the mystery of live. There is always more. Enlightenment is only a beginning, not the end.Beginning of a non-ending process in all dimensions of richness. Beginning of a journey of light which goes on expanding, goes on becoming more and more juicy.

Existence has no limits. There is no point which is the full point. Wherever you are, there is still much more to happen to you. The way is endless. Live is an ongoing affair. It goes on flowering from eternity to eternity.

Enlightenment is only a door, and then there is an unending existence, an unending evolution, expansion. 

Once you have reached it, then a new kind of pilgrimage starts. Up to this door you were an entity; beyond this door you will not be an entity, you will be just pure consciousness without a body, without a mind. You will be just a fragrance which will go on spreading all over existence.

And the fragrance is luminous. It is full of awareness. It knows itself and it knows the whole existence around it – not as separate but part, a kind of at-one-ment. It is the universe and the universe is it; there is no division, no duality. Now the observer becomes the observed, the seer becomes the seen.

Go to work, do the grocery shopping, cook dinner, do the cleaning, fart, take a dump, have sex, have a look at youtube, fart, go visit a friend, feel angry because someone cut in front of you on the road, cry because your dog just died, get sick, get old, die.

Before enlightenment, mow lawn, take trash to curb. After enlightenment, mow lawn, take trash to curb.

The teachers who start teaching after their enlightenment remain amateur. But this man, who has been a teacher already, is immensely enriched by enlightenment as far as being a master is concerned.

It is a very rare phenomenon: first to be enlightened, then to survive enlightenment, then to save your brain so that you can be a master. And that depends on whether you exercised your brain before enlightenment.

I don't teach, I am just an ordinary member of this forum.

I just want to point something out here. Our paths are very different and unique. If a person does recognize an enlightenment experience, later, after self-inquiry and self-improvement, the person will teach it in a different way than another person. Suppose the person is a painter, the painter will express it in a different way than let's say a doctor.

Just want to share a quote...

More words of wisdom.    Yeah, all paths are suitable because we are so different on that level, different stages, levels of understanding.  And I agree, that a person with their own unique teaching will be genuinely teaching that part of reality that was revealed to them.

What did you mean by "survive enlightenment" and "save your brain"?

No scripture of the world discusses it. The question of discussion does not even arise -- no scripture even mentions it, and it has been happening for centuries. Perhaps they were afraid that if they say it... People are already not interested in enlightenment, and if you tell them that this is going to be the reward -- that you become enlightened and your fuse goes off -- this may prevent even those few who might try. They will say, "What nonsense it is. You work hard to attain enlightenment and what do you get as a reward? -- that you are finished! You are not even going to see yourself enlightened. So what is the point? It is a strange game.
