G folder by Friends For their last your become the ask my have or and You cannot know if another person is enlightened or not.
You can figure out for yourself.
Vaneela can know about herself.
Why do you want to judge others?
Let them be what they want to be.
He didn't above me.
How do you know that I am enlightened?
When you.
.
.
Completely.
Completely.
When you can very clearly know the knower.
That's why I say,
Know the knower.
Be the knower.
I never say see the knower.
There is a difference between the two.
Yes,
You can be the knower,
Knowingness.
And you can experience that this knowingness is in this so called apparent world of matter.
Which is not really matter.
It's just appearing as if it is matter.
If you've done Ashtavakra Gita.
In Ashtavakra Gita he gives the example that there is a rope lying in the dark.
And the person who is walking from the forest,
He thinks it is a snake.
Now when he goes closer to it,
He realizes,
No,
This is not a snake.
This is just a rope.
Now is it that the snake transformed to a rope?
No.
From the beginning there was no snake.
Is this clear?
This means that from the beginning there is no division of Purusha and Prakriti.
There is no division of energy and matter.
From the beginning it is only the consciousness or energy.
From the beginning it is only awareness.
Now this knowingness or awareness or consciousness got lost in the mind and drama of the mind.
When Vinila realizes,
Oh I am stuck in the story of the ego.
I am stuck in the story of the mind and Vinila withdraws herself and recognizes,
I am this knower.
Because this knower is always there when there is a story playing.
Whether it is a happy story of Vinila being very successful in work or a sad story of some tragedy in Vinila's life.
It doesn't matter what the story is,
There is always a knower.
Correct?
So whatever the story is,
Irrespective of the story,
There is always a knower.
This knower knows this.
And when Vinila recognizes,
I am not the one who is lost in the story but I am the one who is the knower and in the background.
This loses steam.
This loses its power.
This gains the power.
Then you are constantly in knowingness.
When you complete this path,
You have completed the first leg of the meditation.
Here you start recognizing who is this knower?
What is the quality of this knower?
And then you recognize,
Oh this knower or knowingness is a field.
It is not an individual person.
It is not a limited field but it is an infinite field.
And now this knower or knowingness,
Himself or herself,
Starts exploring this world of matter and recognizes,
Oh seeing is not different from knowing.
Seeing and knowing are made of the same thing.
Touching is not different from knowing.
Knowing of touch is the same thing as touching.
Oh this knowingness is in everything,
In all my activity.
Is there an outside of knowing?
Oh there is no outside of knowing.
It doesn't matter which activity,
Whether at home or work or with friends,
In school.
It doesn't matter where I am,
Every activity is nothing else but the knowingness,
The consciousness,
The awareness.
So it is really that,
It is a field of awareness or an ocean of awareness in which these objects seemingly come up.
They look different.
They feel like they have their individual entity but they are like waves in the ocean.
They last a very short while and then they fall back into the ocean after a while.
Every object,
Every person,
Every situation is temporary.
It arises,
It stays for a while and it goes away.
Nothing is permanent.
This itself becomes very clear to the knowingness that there is nothing else but this ocean of knowingness.
And when you know that,
You know that.
You are enlightened.
Yes,
So you will definitely know.
