Who am I? Am I my body? Am I my mind? Am I my heart? Am I beyond these three dimentions? Is there somehing invisible in me which transcends these three dimensions? Am I the fourth dimension which is free from the three dimensions-body, mind and heart? As the Buddha said when he got enlightened: Gate, gate, parasangate Bodhi swaha. Gone, gone beyond, gone beyond the beyond. It is nameless, formless, shapeless. And that's who I am, my true identity. What an awakening!
This is enlightenment.
Knowing the reality, suchness, cognitively, emotionally and relationally has limitations. By freeing onelf from oneself is real freedom. It is like an open sky with no clouds. I fly in that open and clear sky in which there are no man-made boundaries.
By understanding and implementing such Realty in my daily life, my life blossoms like a flower with one thosand petals. And that flower does not wither away. This is a holistic way of living. It is fulfilling. I need to remain awakened and not go back to sleep.
May the light within help us keep walking on the right path. Amen!
Namaste.
