What is the definition of enlightenment? One of our Facebook friends asked this question and received the following replies. Do you have anything to add to this? Brett: Unattached interconnectedness within the world and universe; attaining freedom from all suffering~ Hazel: understanding that we only have the present moment, once you realize that every small thing in the universe becomes wonderful. Bobby: The goal of understanding the nature of being. Absence of suffering and illusion, presence of unlimited compassion, wisdom, and knowledge Smita: absence of ignorance and being one with the source Mis: Knowing about the self Guru Bala: Asadoma Sat Gamaya, Tamasoma Jhothir Gamaya, Mrithyoma Amruntham Gamaya !The meaning is there ! Shailendra: When one is face to face with one's true nature. Mamta: enlightenment is when one can maintain " Sakshi Bhava" witness like attititude in all situations, When one is uneffected by the "dvandvas" the pairs of opposites.( Bhagvad.Geeta)
