Let's first understand What is Enlightenment?
Enlightenment is a realisation that there is no individual self, there is no "i" in the body. There is just life . You are a life, not a person or any individual or a self or an "i".
Since , there is no "i" so there is no suffering since for suffering there must be an individual. It doesn't mean that when you realise this truth then all pain disappear. No, it isn't the meaning of Enlightenment. Enlightenment simply means there is no personal self in the body to experience pain. The body feels the pain , the brain signals this pain , that's it .
This is all about the meaning of Enlightenment . I hope you understand it ! If you have any doubt then below is the comment box where you can ask your doubts from me.
Now, move to the next part which is about the realisation of the truth. How to realise that there is no individual self or "i" in the organisms body??
So let's try to understand it . Have your seen your body in the mirror from head to toe? Or have you seen a tree from its base to top very patiently ?
Obviously, everybody has seen but may not have seen patiently. If you haven't seen very patiently then do it today!
What you will realise?
You will realise that there is no "i" , there is no self , no individual self in the trees body , isn't it? There is no owner of the tree , no owner of the life energy in the tree's body.
This is the biggest realisation. This realisation can happen in a minute. Enlightenment is here and in now.
This is reason that Buddha found this truth under a tree and not anywhere else! Our mother nature is the greatest Laboratory you can use to explore and to find truth.
This realisation is the Freedom from suffering. This realisation is the actual goal of human birth.
