I think that Enlightenment, described as a state of mind, has to be a incremental process as the mind forms its thoughts, ideas and perceptions based on experiences, observations as well as the ability to think critically.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553273840339778643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-5120726758899108182015-05-22T19:08:59.475+05:302015-05-22T19:08:59.475+05:30Are people really getting enlightened?Are people really getting enlightened?Tomichan Matheikalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037872309096060126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-64593476890880710442015-05-22T18:37:59.234+05:302015-05-22T18:37:59.234+05:30Enlightenment is a state of mind.

But I agree with the concept of using critical reasoning to get rid of prejudices, in the form of belief, to experience the present moment. Enlightenment means the understanding of paradoxical reality. It means to understand that you have to initially use thinking in order to get rid of thoughts to enter in no-thought zone later. To remain unattached doesn't mean detachment only but attachment & detachment simultaneously. To experience the unquestionable truth, you have to ask questions initially.Ravish Manihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06743610113574998103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-48529721457770914952015-05-22T12:16:31.340+05:302015-05-22T12:16:31.340+05:30One is bound to stick to shadows in a blog, Amit j...One is bound to stick to shadows in a blog, Amit ji. :) <br />Such is the nature of blogging up to now, at least.
