Q) How Did You Know You Became Enlightened?

A) The moment you become enlightened, the very doubt itself disappears, just as you have no doubt that you are seeing me, just like it is such a clear experience to you, and there is no question about it. As long as the question is there, you are not enlightened.

Q) You say that you follow consciousness, not conscience?

A) Consciousness is a guru, conscience is not. Conscience gives do's and don'ts, which you will always be fighting. The more conscience you have, the more you will be dead, and the more you will be schizophrenic (split personality). With consciousness, you will be operating out of a space where you will never have a doubt about what is right and what is wrong; you will just do what has to be done, correctly. That is why consciousness is a guru. A guru is one who gives you the intelligence to do things correctly, not one who gives you rules to do things correctly.

With conscience, you don't get a feel of your true self because you are operating from a layer of rules, from a layer of right and wrong. With consciousness, you are operating from your core. So the more you do it, the more you travel within and the more you expand.
