HUMAN ENLIGHTENMENT

Dr.T.V.Rao MD
We live in a world with complicated, complex circumstances, where ever we see around; people are interested in conflict of self-interest. My few decades of observations around me, teaches many lessons to understand, are we the same when we are young and have I made any progress? I think everyone should put a question to himself and try to find the answers. Most of us get no answers in spite of fulfilling many materialist ambitions. Ordinary people keep awake in the enjoyments of the world and the pleasures of the senses. But this sphere of the pleasures of the senses has no attraction for the enlightened person, therefore, he treats them as if he is asleep paying no attention to them. And to the ordinary beings of the world, knowledge of the Self, realisation of God and the fundamental questions of human life as to what is the purpose of human existence all such questions do not exist. They sleep in such questions. To them all these questions have no meaning just like darkness. The enlightened one is always awake in what is darkness or night for the ordinary pleasure-hunting souls. When we are perplexed with complex problems we have few solutions to be solved by ourselves we look at supernatural force which we call as almighty in common mans word it is GOD. When things are beyond our control, we lead to superstition and many forms of orthodoxy. However it is certain we can overcome problems which practice of enlightenment in our daily lives. Man to overcome

many problem needs to be autonomous than depending on society Enlightenment means that humans develop (become mature) through the use of their reason. Individuals can seek knowledge and use their own reason rather than be told how to think by the church, religion or the state. Enlightenment means think for you! The notion of human autonomy changes the relationship between individual freedom and the state. If individuals should be free to use their own reason and to think what they want, how much power should the state have over individuals lives? This becomes a key problem for Enlightenment ideologies. Many enlightened found several solutions in themselves, Freedom means being able to think rationally for yourself. Kant argues that humanity must abandon a life of unreason, of relying on superstition, faith, and blind obedience. Instead, we must order our lives according to reason. Reason will lead us to the truth. We find truth through science rather than opinion or faith. Through scientific inquiry we can solve many of the mysteries of the universe and reveal the solutions to all the problems people face. Many seers and saints, we call them as enlightened soles are people who realised what they are rather than world means to them, as all human beings possess the ability to be enlightened. In other words, humans are equal by nature. All humans are part of a universal community who share a single universal human nature. Differences among people are less important than their fundamental sameness. Many after practice of religion and true faith in the GOD have realised Enlightenment is the ultimate goal of existence. Enlightenment is the state of

being and living by which one can experience supreme freedom, absolute power and the highest happiness. The eastern philosophical way of attaining enlightenment by denying the ego and getting rid of desires is a form of enlightenment. But it is not the true enlightenment. They believe that in order to experience the true self, one has to shed the false self by realizing there is no ego. They believe that an enlightened being is without ego and desire. What they have is only half the truth combined with untruth. Enlightenment is transcending the ego but that does not mean denying the ego. To transcend is to go beyond. There are different planes of the spiritual dimension. An enlightened consciousness is one that transcends the physical plane. It is also a spiritual consciousness. You can become spiritual by transcending physicality, but that doesnt mean you are fully enlightened. Of the many religions the thought of Buddha was different as Buddhism teaches for the self-enlightenment Believe nothing merely because you have been told it Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings that doctrine believe and cling to and take it as your guide. Many experienced the power of enlightenment as with writing of Nostradamus, the critical mass of enlightenment can be defined as the smallest number of awakened human beings whose collective influence can initiate a significant shift in global consciousness. The process of creating enough enlightened ones to achieve this critical mass can be likened to the transformation of coal into

diamonds. The pressure of surrounding human unconsciousness creates urgency in the potential enlightened one to awaken from illusion. The total weight of so much unconscious 'carbon' exerts a tremendous pressure, through which a few coal stones reach the appropriate mass to become 'diamonds.' These awakened beings embody the crystal clarity of enlightened consciousness which can transform the level of consciousness of the entire planet. The one, who has started evolving, begins to see glimpses of light in the darkness, but the perfect human, sees nothing but the light of God everywhere. He only sees the existence of God, purity of love and consciousness, so this very world becomes the existence of Divinity itself. Enlightenment brings in success beyond human possibilities.
