A LIVING GEM FROM RAMESH
(never before published)
Do not ask someone if he is enlightened. Ask him instead, if there is the deepest possible understanding of what life is all about, whether there is the willing and contented acceptance of all that life might bring; whether death is accepted as the mere natural end of the process of life – the interrelated opposite of what is called “birth”; whether the individuals with neither independent existence nor volition appear to be merely characters in the dream that this life presents like a great dream. If the answer is an unqualified and immediate “yes”, then there has been enlightenment.
Do not ask someone if he is enlightened. Ask instead, whether there is the deepest understanding, without any reservation at all, that the individual as such has neither any autonomous existence as a separate entity nor any independence of choice and action as volition, that life is indeed a great dream in which events merely happen, with the individuals as mere characters without any control over the dream; and that therefore, the only thing “to do” is to witness every moment as what-is without the slightest desire to change anything. If the answer is a ringing “yes”, there has been enlightenment.
