There's a quote from Einstein that reads, “Everything should be as simple as it can be, but not simpler.” You do an astounding job of this in your videos. I think so many people (Hi, I'm people - otherwise I wouldn't end up here haha) are struggling to grapple with existence and religion and spirituality and just all of it these days. We're all so inundated by every differing opinion, new philosophy, daily practice, moral accusation whether this way or that - it becomes exhausting. And it's all contradictory. Because you're right - we're supposed to give up our desires to achieve enlightenment, but wanting enlightenment is a desire in and of itself. Enlightenment has become the most convoluted, complicated, Catch-22 I've yet to know. Thank you for reminding us it's not. It's not sensational. It's not seeing sounds and hearing colors and making opportunities appear from your fingertips just because you believe it so. It's not supremely hard. It's just existing without having to think so consciously about it. And not minding that existence :) Thank you for making this video. I'm glad your brain works the way it does, and I hope you'll continue to share more of it with us
Hey Rebecca! Thank you so much for this insightful and encouraging comment. I appreciate you and your words and the time it took you to share this. I agree. The problem is nowadays is that people wake up casually. Then they go and find a teacher to help understand their experience but end up going to a teacher that doesn’t really know how to handle someone who’s already woke up so they over complicate it. They teach people to wake up. But if that’s already happened to some degree what then? People need their experience simplified and to be grounded in that truth. This is where a lot of confusion happens! This happened with me. If it resonates with you be sure to check this out! :) www.skool.com/the-thought-dojo-9968/about
Thank you, needed to hear this. I think it is sad that a natural state of mind, that just being happy for No reason which is natural has some exotic name "samadhi". I think it is a barrier for many people to be happy because they think it is so Fucking exotic state that it takes years and years of meditation/yoga just to be natural. All methods fail at the end. 😂❤
You hit the nail on the head! 🙏 India loves the Leela! Hahahaha. We also have to remember that these words have come through 2 languages so it’s easy to over dramatisise or over interpret meanings. But totally agree with you.
every enlightened person has it's own version on things. like empath who's able to feel things that cannot be seen, enlightened person can see or observed what is happening around as they can feel or sort of see the energy that drives things to it's purpose. enlightenment stage is just a tool, they should observe their on self as everything is in it.
There aren’t any individual beings for there to be an enlightened person. When we say someone is enlightened, we’re pointing to a mind that has recognised that its own consciousness is infinite and shared between all minds and all things. In other words, that we recognise that everything is God. They don’t have special powers or an exotic state of mind. Most kids these days have recognised this. We’re just extremely over dramatic about it all.
all those methods, religious/spiritual/philosophical/psychological stories that we made up to "help ourselves to get enlightened" ... it´s bullshit, okay, but it´s also meant as a beanstalk for the beginners and a diverse employment program for those who feel they need it for a certain while. for many of us it can be quite a shock to REALIZE that we are nothing but naked awareness. no self, no ego, no individual being. and it might take some (imagined) time for that to be clear ... .
Let me get this straight, you think: Infinite pure consciousness = enlightenment, and there's only ONE enlightened thing, 'no-thing'? Then that enlightenment = unrestricted emotion of happiness... by knowing We = the universe, which is the 'no-thing'(?), and that the universe or 'no-thing' is infinite (in spacetime?), so we're undifferentiating ourselves from it by knowing We = IT, and therefore, will never ACTUALLY die... voiding our perceived problems because they essentially don't matter in the grand scheme of infinity (?) Ultimately: (US = UNIVERSE, which you are saying is ONE (No-differentiation) and Infinite (in spacetime?)) = CONSCIOUSNESS = ENLIGHTMENT = HAPPINESS
Almost what I’m saying! Happiness is not an emotion. Don’t expect an emotion. When I say infinite, I don’t mean time and space, or in infinite “size” I mean infinite as in - not limited or finite. Which means, does not exist in time or space. We don’t indiffereciate with consciousness, we are already that, so we don’t need to identify or try to identify with anything. We just remove the belief in separation. Yes you’re right, we don’t die because we’re already that which cannot be born or die. That means fear of death dissolves. That also means when the body dies, we don’t get attached to the body. Will make that whole experience a whole lot easier.

Yes, this is so spot on. Thank you again Saja. ❤

Very well said haha! It’s a beautiful part of life though, and I sound harsh in my videos but really I’m just playing around
that´s where we all meet, apparently: on that vast adventurous playground called a human life!
yippeeee!!!
@@felice9907 I love it, pleasure to be here with you!
I used to be very arrogant, but after achieving enlightenment and realizing I am infinite, unlimited, and eternal, I became very humble.
I wouldn’t know anything about it I’ve never achieved enlightenment
Let me get this straight, you think:
Infinite pure consciousness = enlightenment,
and there's only ONE enlightened thing, 'no-thing'?
Then that enlightenment = unrestricted emotion of happiness...
by knowing We = the universe, which is the 'no-thing'(?),
and that the universe or 'no-thing' is infinite (in spacetime?),
so we're undifferentiating ourselves from it by knowing We = IT,
and therefore, will never ACTUALLY die...
voiding our perceived problems because they essentially don't matter in the grand scheme of infinity (?)
Ultimately: (US = UNIVERSE, which you are saying is ONE (No-differentiation) and Infinite (in spacetime?)) = CONSCIOUSNESS = ENLIGHTMENT = HAPPINESS

That also means when the body dies, we don’t get attached to the body. Will make that whole experience a whole lot easier.
A little question: are you using the word “enlightenment” only in a religious context or are you also referring to the mouvement too?
I’m referring to the “state” of consciousness that is commonly referred to in the Indian traditions like Buddhism and common spiritual parlance
@@sajafendel thank you
the story was passed so much that it's a whole different one now lol
Haha explain what you mean?
@@sajafendel the people who were listening to the Buddha who didn't understand him explained it to other people
@@EmmanDesh yes you hit the nail on the head brother.
