Enlightened Beings: Becoming an enlightened one

Enlightened Beings Kaivalya Atma Jnani seeking enlightenment

In present life the entity enlightened beings is normally referred to those who have enlightened themselves in the field of poetry, art, mysticism, Spirituality and any other facet of life which is creative and constructive in nature. You may often find people talking among themselves that so-and-so has given a very enlightening talk. They simply mean that the talk has been knowledgeable and invigorating. It has nothing to do with the word kaivalya jnani (enlightened beings).

A truly enlightened being is one who has placed himself on the highest pedestal of life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation beyond which life itself ceases to exist. A stage... when our atman the soul within us reaches the end of its journey. Having come back to its pristine pure form... our soul atman having become pure... the cause for any manifestation to occur having ceased... this soul has gained enlightenment and the individual is termed as an enlightened being.

Amongst the category of kaivalya jnanis (enlightened beings)... the first to come was Lord Krishna who is treated as an avatar (manifest God himself) and not as a man God like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed... all of whom were kaivalya jnanis! Life is worth living for we have had enlightened beings amongst us! It is the wisdom passed on to us by kaivalya jnanis in form of sacred Scriptures that humanity has survived for such a long time. Enlightened beings are truly an asset to the society at large.

In the last 150 years we have had only two enlightened beings... they were Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana. Both of these gentlemen gained enlightenment in the last reaches of their life. Having gained enlightenment they gave back to the society what they learnt while proceeding on the path of pure Spirituality.

Every journey of life... be it the form of an insect, animal or the form of a human being ends with one becoming enlightened at the end part of the life. reaching the stage of being born a human being... each and every individual must strive to join the faculty of the few kaivalya jnanis who have already left the earthly abode.

For a god realized soul... no doubt it is the end of the earthly journey! Having gained enlightenment these gentlemen were not required to reincarnate again in a new body. One may desire or not but the 8.4 millionth manifestation results in one becoming god realized at the end of the journey. Reaching the status of kaivalya jnani is a really privileged one! It is only one or two in a century who gain enlightenment to finally liberate themselves forever from the unending cycle of life and death. These super human beings could not have been wrong. To remain subdued in the world full of sensual attachments and wanton desires can never be the ultimate goal of life!

Every place built for religious gatherings, every temple, mosque or church is reminiscent of a superpower over and above us. We human beings are just a tool in the hands of God. Yet, every human being has been given that power of discrimination using which one can become an enlightened one. We must always remember that it is only earth and Mother Earth from where one reaches the status of an enlightened one. Neither from heaven or hell can one directly go to the kingdom of God!

Being god realized never relates to the body. It is the real self of us... our soul atman within us which gains the status of having become free for ever from the journey of various manifestations. Every wisely conducted spiritual journey culminates in one becoming enlightened!

Why not all of us truly become true enlightened beings in the present life!

Be it search for kaivalya jnani, reincarnation, god realized, self realized being, bodhichitta, an enlightened life, enlightened teachers, poets, avatars, buddha, mystics, masters, samadhi, krisna, saint... everything bogs down to... whether or not we realize god in this life!
