Query:
I have also been enlightened myself, but find it very hard to live in this society?
Once you have been enlightened, can you leave your body anytime?
Vijay Kumar:
Whether
you are enlightened or not depends upon the attributes of Enlightenment I shall
now detail. If you have reached the level of Jesus Christ... the level of Mahavira,
Gautama Buddha or Prophet Mohammed... you are definitely enlightened... one who
has gained kaivalya jnana and shall finally take salvation (moksha) at the end
of physical manifest life.
If
you think the gist of the Bible... the Wisdom of all the sacred scriptures existing
on Mother Earth have become like ABCD to you... if you feel and assert that the
contents of the sacred Bible were dictated by you in one of your earlier manifestations...
you definitely have reached the stage of Enlightenment (kaivalya jnana).
If
not... you are still on the path of Enlightenment... still a seeker of spirituality!
Gaining Enlightenment is the end of all... the end of life for the soul atman
within that manifests the body. The moment human beings gains enlightenment...
it announces final release... liberation of the soul atman within from the cycle
of birth and death forever.
Enlightenment
announces the soul atman within the body having reached its cosmic goal of life...
the 8.4 millionth manifestation when human beings reach the status of Mahavira,
Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed! Gaining Enlightenment is real
difficult... and can be gauged from the fact that in the last about 150 years
amongst 6500 million people existing on Mother Earth... only two persons gained
Enlightenment... they were sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana.
Right
from the first manifestation as an amoeba to the last as human beings... the effort
of the soul atman is to gain liberation from the cycle of birth and death forever.
Prompted by the ego most human beings delay traveling the spiritual path. Mesmerized
by the wanton desires and greed for materialistic riches... we simply while away
life on Mother Earth!
Getting
enlightened is a wonderful experience... something that cannot be described in
words. Amongst the other attributes of getting enlightened is full awakening of
the Kundalini that further results in opening of the thousand petalled Lotus (aka
Shahastra Pushpa in Hinduism) within the brain. Now the enlightened one can invoke
the complete Wisdom of the Cosmos at will.
Most
human beings do not use their brain more than 1% on the average. Albert Einstein
the famous physicist used his brain 4%... enlightened beings use their brain hundred
percent. It is the dormant lying 99% part of the brain... when activated results
in one reaching the level of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet
Mohammed!
The
sooner I realized God in 1993... The gist of Bhagavad Gita... the foremost of
all sacred scriptures existing on Mother Earth become like ABCD to me. It is as
if I had dictated the sacred Bhagavad Gita in one of my earlier manifestations.
The sacred scriptures of different religions like Bible, the Quran, the Jaina
doctrines and Buddhist scriptures... have become like ABCD to me. I have practically
become the knower of all!
The experience
of gaining Enlightenment simply cannot be described in words. The experience of
enlightenment is beyond the comprehension of words... much beyond the catch of
the senses! Only when we transcend all the senses forever... are we able to control
mind! No sooner the power of the mind becomes available to us... we become enlightened!
Enlightenment
is reaching the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi when one can have a dialogue with
God on one-to-one basis. Every enlightened one always remains in communion with
God on one-to-one basis and that too permanently. Enlightenment is not an experience...
it is a permanent state of achievement! Having gained Enlightenment... the physical
manifest life for the enlightened one carries no meaning further!
Our
body is simply a garment for the soul atman within... it is our soul atman that
is the master and controller of the body and not vice versa. Our soul atman manifests
the body to work out its karma... remove the impurities dross contained within!
The moment all dross removes... the purpose of soul atman manifesting a body ceases
to exist... one finally gains enlightenment!
In
the human form alone God Almighty has endowed mankind with 1.1 million manifestations...
and an earthly journey of 12.1 million years. During this time every human being
is expected to reach the stage of enlightenment and finally salvation! Your query
that "having gained Enlightenment... can one leave the body" clearly
spells out that you are far from gaining Enlightenment!
The
knower of all... the enlightened one need not ask such a question! The complete
gist of Wisdom contained in the Cosmos is at our tips. We need not ask anyone
any question. The moment all queries within a human being dissolve... one finally
gains enlightenment at the end of the journey!
Gaining
Enlightenment is the purpose of human life... the goal of every human form! We
may or may not desire... we may or may not travel the spiritual path... our soul
atman within continues its the journey of liberation from the cycle of birth and
death irrespective of the happenings in the ephemeral world. Whenever we tend
to go wrong... the sweet small inner voice of our soul atman that seems to come
from within our heart always guides us on the right path.
It
is this voice of soul atman controlling which human beings reach the stage of
enlightenment and finally salvation. Truthfulness is that important ingredient
in the life of a serious spiritual seeker... absence of which negates our gaining
Enlightenment. Furthermore practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of
12 years is necessitated for full awakening of the Kundalini.
Mahavira
did it and so did Gautama Buddha! Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed also followed
the same path. In the last about 150 years sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi
Ramana gained Enlightenment by practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period
of 12 years. Without the practice of celibacy... the full awakening of the Kundalini
is totally ruled out! In the cosmic system there is no place for desires or wishes...
neither there are any shortcuts.
The
moment one gains enlightenment... the complete human bonding dissolves forever.
Our relationship with our father... Mother... brothers and sisters ceases to exist!
For us there is only one relationship left. All are children of God Almighty.
By that relationship... all become dear sons and daughters of God... we simply
need respect them for they have an essence of divinity present within in form
of their soul atman.
For
an enlightened one statement like my mother, my father carries no meaning! Having
gained absolute purity as a soul atman... we become free of all the bondages of
life forever. No further cleansing of the soul atman required... the purified
soul atman after salvation finally gains entry into the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha
in Hinduism)... a point of no return!

Full text of query:
I just wanted to write you and let you know your profound words are expressed
very clearly. I have also been enlightened myself, but I find it very hard to
live in this society now. But my question to you is, once you have been enlightened.
Can you leave your body at anytime? I
just like to stay home with my mother and comfort her.
