Examples of Enlightened Masters http://www.blissful-wisdom.com/examples-of-enlightened-masters.html
Here are some personal stories and examples of living enlightened Masters. Let their stories be an inspiration to awaken our natural state of Knowingness.
The webpage above has many personal stories illustrating just what “Awakening” entails. Below is just one short Youtube interview titled: “The Experience of No Self”
At the ashram this prayer kept coming up: “Please let this devotion not fall away…Please reveal the seat of Knowledge…Let this child not be lost in the worldly stuff anymore…”
Since then:
The understanding that there just isn’t a personal self…never was and never will be…is arising.
Jai Ma. Jai Source. Jai Mystery. Jai the dissolution of the illusion of separation. Jai ignorance and Jai wholeness. LOL
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
There was always a belief that ‘I’ was doing sadhana to attain enlightenment or some such notion. But the very idea that there is an ‘I’ to attain is the lock on the door (so to say). Can there really be a ‘personal self’ at all? Is there anyone here other than sensations, feelings, thoughts, memories, concepts, seeing, hearing, touching, crying, laughing, struggling, resting….all these things are occurring, but where is the ‘personal self’? What does a personal self have to do with any of the ten thousand things constantly at play in the present moment?
The nagging thought keeps arising, “Is there a ‘me’ that can stop breathing, stop heartbeat, stop hunger, stop thoughts, stop sensations or feelings? Then these occurrences must be occurring of and by nature, but not by a ‘personal self’…is it not so?
So a lot of time is spent just sitting, or reading, or watching movies, or walking….and just noticing what is occurring in the present moment….A sense of deep peace seems to pervade all that is occurring. Sometimes the peace is completely dominant, and sometimes the calm presence is completely overshadowed by what is ‘occurring’ in the present moment.
