A Limitless Continuum

I always tell people that the experience of enlightenment is the ultimate, but not the final. There is a big difference between the two. Enlightenment is ultimate, because all your ideas about enlightenment, body and mind will disappear.

That does not mean that everything is over. No.

You will be constantly exploding into a different space. You may think, 'Oh, God! This is the ultimate experience that I can bear, I can't bear more than this.' But understand it does not end there. Every moment you will experience the same feeling -that the moment is too much to bear! That is what I call enlightenment.

It is a limitless continuum. It will be continuously and constantly exploding. What you think as the ultimate will be happening in you now. After a few moments, what you think as the ultimate at that moment will be happening in you. What you think as the ultimate will happen every moment! It is a limitless continuum. The whole thing is changing continuously. It means that your idea about enlightenment, your idea about desire, your idea about greed, your idea about yourself changes continuously. Your idea about jeeva (self), ishwara (God), jagat (world), all the three will constantly be changing. That is what I call enlightenment.

People think enlightenment is like retirement. They ask me, 'Swamiji, what should I plan to do after enlightenment?' I tell them, 'That plan Existence will do. You can't do!'

As long as you are planning to do, you will never get enlightened. Enlightenment is the last decision you can make. After that, you cannot make any decisions. All decisions will be made by someone else. People think enlightenment is like a retirement plan. No, it is a constant happening. You will realize that everything, whether you change or accept, is just eternally changing.

Clarity to realize that whatever you call as reality is a changing dream is what I call yukti. There are so many wonderful truths which can be

revealed inside you when you realize that everything is a changing dream. Your whole world is nothing but what you experience in your mana shareera (mental body). For example, what is your world now? Whatever you see, whatever waves are created because of the seeing and listening inside you, this is what your world is right now.

Now, you see me talking. Each one of you is responding differently in your inner space to what you are seeing and what you are listening. That is what each one's world is.

I can see each one respond in a different way to what I am talking. For example, one person is thinking, 'If everything is changing, then why should I work? Why not lie down?'
