Namaste/Vanakkam.
This is about enlightenment.
------------------
The knowledge-sharing of the Masters are strange and often radically different even from time to time, from person to person. Just like the Oracle of The Matrix trilogy, "they tell us exactly what we need to hear". They are indeed constantly in touch with that part of us which knows the deepest yearning of the soul, and cater to that so that the Highest joy may be derived from that experience.
And it seems rather strange how people change overnight to become Masters, a devoted preparation or any sort of effort ( in that particular body, so to speak) is often missing in a lot of cases. For example, Sri Nisargadatta (author of the famous Advaitic text " I am That") was a household man, and sold cigarettes for a living, until he met his Guru. In his words he says
" My Guru ordered me to attend to the sense 'I am' and to give attention to nothing else. I just obeyed. I did not follow any particular course of breathing, or meditation, or study of scriptures. Whatever happened, I would turn away my attention from it and remain with the sense 'I am'. It may look too simple, even crude. My only reason for doing it was that my Guru told me so. Yet it worked! "
The Buddha realized the same thing. He tried so hard for enlightenment, renunciated all his riches, his crown, undertook severe penances, .. even then enlightenment never "came". Then he sat under a tree and simply told himself that he would sit doing nothing, until enlightenment came, which it did. And later he reached that there is nothing to be "done" to "attain enlightenment". All that one can do is to practice some practices to open up to the awareness of the fact that it is Here and Now.
