Spiritual Enlightenment

The meaning of Spiritual Enlightenment is liberation of Senses.

Transcendental knowledge – the spiritual knowledge of the Soul, of God, and of their relationship – is both purifying and liberating. Such knowledge is the fruit of selfless devotional action (karma yoga).When we speak of transcendental knowledge, we do so in terms of spiritual understanding. As such, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Ignorance is the cause our bondage and knowledge is the cause of liberation.

Article of Shri. S.S.Yogi related to Spiritual Enlightenment and its culmination.

SPIRITUAL PRACTICE: We must always bear in mind the purpose of all spiritual practice – that is, to open a channel within us by which we may feel the presence of God and see what is now invisible to us. The channel is opened when we are able to drop the consciousness of the little “ I “ and free our mind from impurities or from its attachment to material things only. So the whole object of our practice is to make us pure and humble that we may approach God with openness of heart. There are various methods by which this may be accomplished – by prayer, by meditation, by work, devotion, self-sacrifice and self-control. If, however, we follow any one of these methods without remembering the purpose of it, it may produce just the result we are tying to avoid; that is, it may stimulate the ego and thus prove a drawback. No matter what we do, therefore, we must never lose sight of the fact that God is the Supreme Reality, the Highest Self.
He is the only one to be depended on, not the lower self, and constantly surrendering ourselves to Him in our thought will so purify us that we shall be able to find a connection or open a channel by which we may unite ourselves with the Supreme. This is what meant by religious practice or any other spiritual practice.
Will continue.
