  Many do understand and one library has ranked my work next to the Bibles.Its not possible for someone who has not died ,seen the light and come back to write on it with such clarity.
  I am not the only one to do so every saint or sage on this planet till date has as well, its called enlightenment in English, satori in Japanese,samadhi in India, Fanaah by sufi mystics, fact of life.

  I have before only to be mocked by people such as you but since is my job I will do so again.
  Your inner energy or soul travels in this tunnel towards this point of light at an incredible speed.Then you reach the end of this tunnel and this point of light becomes huge like the sun,the next thing that happens is you go into this light and explode into a limitless light,a light with no beginning and no end, bliss, you are this light, its your source where you have come from and will eventually go back to,god.

  I am enlightened ,its the experience which taught me I was an atheist before that.Yes enlightenment is finding yourself, the self being god the Light, enlightenment is more in light.
  
  Religions inspire man to meditate and find god, I cannot meditate for you.

  My own parents called me mad when I told them many years back that I got enlightened, my mom told me to go to a mental assylum or jungles and my dad suggested a psychiatrist.This elder aunt of mine understood and told them he is different,you will see with time.Some understood and some did not.

  Not going anywhere. dont worry.
  Nature is alive and not dead like most think.
  
  "This endless expense in front of us all,
  Is as alive as the closet insect to crawl.
  
  The moment you submit to the point of light,
  The word death is no more such a fright.
  
  Infinity you become at once,
  The human form then you trounce.
  
  Thats when you realize everything is alive,
  The wind, the rain even the nectar of the beehive.
  
  Man can communicate with the wind and rain,I have played many times with them, would go to this cemetery near the river very often to be alone and at times it would be pouring and ten feet around me it is totally dry not a drop would fall on me. My friends say I am lucky with the rain, there is no such thing its simple communication.
  
  The fabric of this entire universe is this light, alive and that is you, all is you.

  Many things ,I get answers to small and big descions.Was told to become a poet and spread his knowledge and to unite all the religions as he is sick and tired of egoistic man cliaming so and so is the greatest and truest prophet and best religion as they are all equally good and lead to him.
  
  I was called mad by my family and friends when I said I gained enlightenment and now I am going to become a poet and work for god.They couldnt understand as I took many years to complete my work and it was a full time job.
  
  Now no one laughs at me any more I keep coming in the Indian newpapers had an article day before yesterday, called the Shakespeare from Pune which is the Oxford of the east and been appreciated by many,ranked by a library next to the Bibles, everyone doent find that amusing .Was ranked by another library in top 10 poetry , 1 in Inspirational and religious poetry, top 10 religious philosophy and top 10 spiritualism.Need to clear out these false assumptions man has of god.I spread the knowledge that god is within everyone and if I can get enlightened so can you.
  
  Its not logically possible for someone to write one book and get ranked with the Bibles , you and most others, however intelligent you are will not be able to,no offense just the truth and I acknowledge my work to god .
  
  Like some of you insist that no one can know what happens when one dies ,none of you can write and get ranked with the Bibles as well.So I can do what you all cannot because of god.Sages from all communities have acknowledged and praised my work, Doctors have told me your poems have a calming effect on patients, some terminally ill patients say they lost their fear of death after reading my work, many are connecting.

  Jewelsposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  Mohit, with all due respect to your writing abilities, you miss the point entirely. Writing a book and having it ranked highly does not prove you are an enlightened man. You yourself say you are enlightened, fine if that's what you believe. Proving you are enlightened by telling people your poetry is ranked up their with the bible, does not prove you are an enlightened man. In India it is likely to prove that people don't read the bible much.
  
  Many people have seen lights and colors, explosions of great lights and are alive to talk about it, had experiences of bliss in meditations and had messages from and experiences with divine beings. They don't say they are enlightened because of them.
  
  When you continually use your poetry as the proof of your enlightenment, the opposite effect occurs. At the end of the day it only matters to you whether you feel you are enlightened. Having to prove it to everyone else detracts from you passing your experience or self proclaimed status. Enlightenment is a subjective term, not given to you by anyone outside of yourself. No one else can say you are enlightened, it's therefore fruitless to say "I'm enlightened, here is my book of poetry."
  
  If your work is good it should speak for itself, and so let it.

  Fine jewels what ever you say.I have said there is no proof for enlightenment and have quoted the Buddha as well so I guess you are missing the point and not me.
  I explained at lenght a passage about what nature is my witness means, please read before jumping to such conclusions.
  I have also mentioned that Jesus couldn't give proof of his enlightenment and was crucified.
  You are either enlightened or you are not, you should have said this to the Buddha not to say he is enlightened and to Zaraushtra and Guru Nanak etc etc.
  If you ever do get enlightened you will say it as well because it becomes truth.
  Then I have also mentioned that literary pundits say a poetry book on god is possible only by the enlightened ones as it is too arduous a task to carry out and a normal human does not posses the intelligence or energy to do this, fight with the literary pundits and not me.
  
  Many have read just one poem from my book and said this guy is enlightened so either you can understand from my work or you cannot.I can read a persons book and come to know straight away whether he is enlightened or not its very simple for me to do so.

  Mohit, we have been down this road before. I said, with respect, that it is fruitless for you to impress upon other people that you are enlightened. To SAY you are an enlightened person does not give you credibility. You are missing the point entirely. I am attempting to pass something to you - that you can tell people all you like that you are enlightened. It is in your actions that you will show people. There is absolutely no point getting defensive as this does not serve you at all. It does however, show a level of insecurity which usually an enlightened one does not portray.
  
  Good for you that you say your book is up there with the bible. It does not prove you are enlightened. Enough of being defensive, Mohit. Personally, any quotes you have stated from your book of poetry does not convince me of your enlightened status. Perhaps one has to be Indian to get it. So be it. But as I said, why do you feel the need to prove it? If one was enlightened he/she has no reason to convince others.

  Sorry you don't find it credible you will not find the Buddha,Mahavira ,Zarathustra,Guru Nanank, Kabir ,Tukaram credible as well or many great poet saints who said they gained enlightenment, I find them credible.
  
  This is an international and not Indian library which has ranked my work, sorry.
  
  Now you are not enlightened yet speak of how one should be after enlightenment.Not putting a gun on your head and forcing you to believe.
  
  My actions are devoting many years writing and now I will spend the rest of my life spreading god knowledge.Try writing original lines you claim to be very spiritual,do I tell you dont do that, maybe then you will understand that you cannot.There is a poem I have written called Religions if your master writes better poem I will say I am not enlightened and I am a liar , fine?
  
  Poets are enlightened ones messengers of god and poetry is the tool they use to share their god knowledge.
  
  My work speaks for itself either you can understand or you cannot.Right now you are unable to do so doesn't mean everyone else is as well.

  It is most unfortunate that many spiritual students in India have teachers who have totally lost direction. After the time of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it became popular to 'become enlightened'. However, there is allot of scamming going on in the 'spiritual industry' that is disgusting. What's abusive is that many innocent minds are led to something that has little integrity and ends up harming the student mentally. Apparently when one goes to India to find a good spiritual master, they have to look under rocks to find them.

  Again you would do well to watch your grammatical errors when writing.
  
  Re India - Not at all an absurd statement. It is a fact that many people disguise themselves as spiritual teachers in India. It is losing its heart which is very sad as it once held integrity.
  
  My teacher has written over 20 books on the subject of esoteric knowledge. Additionally he includes many poems in his books that pass knowledge.
  
  Which is why I question your ethics and have addressed you on several occasions for using sanskrit terms without context in your ramblings on this forum. I for one have never confessed to being enlightened. But it has become apparent that you have no understanding of the term and are the subject of your own delusions.
  
  The fact that you continually need to defend yourself is proof enough that you lack integrity. An enlightened person has no need to, nor a wanting to tell the world he is enlightened. It's just not the way of an enlightened person. You seem to be the only one in the history of spiritual teachers that has to spout this from his soapbox.
  
  Go back to your center mohitmisra. You are not listening to your own teachings, nor have you received enough guidance to deserve the tag you put on yourself.

  For starters, explanations would work rather than, "I am highly ranked".

I thought you are supposed to humble yourself from your arrogance in meditation to find your "inner self". Am I wrong on these things? I think I have a good idea of the prophets. Whichever ones make the most absolute and believable claims usually gets the most believers.

  Sorry, I will try to be respectful, but i'm not buying it. Why would God need you to be a messenger if God is almighty? An almighty person shouldn't need messengers.
  
  If you are supposedly helping people find themselves and God, wouldn't that include forming their own individual belief? I see this contradictory of what you do in your absolute claims. I see you telling people what God is, not giving them an open mind. I think if you make absolute claims, you should give absolute evidence and explanations.
  
  You are trying to reunite all religions? They separated in attempts to individualize trying to be unique from one another, who said they want to unite?
  
  You say your work is completed? Who did you say has an ego? In a life that learns new things everyday, only an egotistical mind would say that their work is completed. I think it is ignorant to be content with knowledge you believe you already have while limiting you from learning new knowledge.
  
  What does God think about your silly bragging of ranking all of the time? He didn't tell you it was egotistical to continually repeat your rating in efforts to gain credibility?
  
  There is a huge difference in helping a person find themselves compared to helping them find what you call God. Dr. Phil helps people find themselves, you have showed me no evidence that you are enlightened over dr. Phil.

  There are many consciousness level the holy Vedas puts man into some 3,000 categories depending on their conscious levels or awareness levels. Many have an awareness of god since birth some develop it with time.
  
  One doesn't have to be enlightened to have a connection with god,these are evolved souls working for god.
  
  How do you know he doesn't converse with Jesus. Many have claimed this before .
  Many claim different prophets or saints have communicated with them,I have communicated with departed saints as well so I believe Sir Dent does as well
  .I doesnt rule out the possibility, true he doesn't have direct god knowledge something which will help him see the oneness in all things which he lacks today.

  hmm, Mo, you should have a look at my thread: Beyond Consciousness.
  
  "One can see the conflict in approaching Purity, but so it must be. For Purity is not a thing to attain by that parallel, but is a thing already foreseen and is as a fullness of knowledge, lacking nothing, having everything. Thus, by any measure is infinite. As beings of human kind, we are then the expression of purity when we free ourselves from all consciousness; infinite when we disrobe ourselves of the veils of knowledge and accept our true nature, a creation of perfection, a manifestation of purity and one with purity itself."

  Death and life are all around us and they are perceived with the sight of the eye and the sight of the mind.
  
  When one "dies" physically, he is actually merely going back to his origin, which is either death, darkness, nothing.
  
  Or life, light, all things.

  She has faith that you love her and that there is something in the box. She doesn't know what it is ... She just has faith in you that the box is not empty.

  lol Ok, so faith there was something in the box, wow. Here is my imagination. Does faith that something in the box mean that there is before you even open it? I agree faith makes you feel better about the chances of having a present in the box, this doesn't make it absolute that there is a present in the box. It relates directly with death as my previous comment. I think you are the one with the lacking imagination.
  
  Relate not knowing whats in the box with not knowing what happens at death. It takes faith to both believe there is something in the box before looking and to believe there is an afterlife before dying.
  
  If you wouldn't attempt to use so many Jesus parrables, it would make things less complicated. Or does using Jesus parrables mean you have an enlightened imagination?

  I hate being rude, but since you've been rude to anyone who even attempts to answer your question, I'll be rude, too. You should learn this lesson: do not ask a question if you do not want to get an answer. You are asking for opinions - really, you are asking for a fight.
  
  And this "enlightenment" stuff is incredibly interesting - you keep harping on it. You need to study religions and understand how people who follow those religions think and the terms they use. Many western religions don't use that word, so you are simply confusing people into losing a rather one-sided argument.
  
  And those who try to debate with you about the life after death thing... all I can do is sigh. It's walking into a trap. They will learn.

Sure, as a minister I will admit that I do not know for certainty what happens after death. However, because of my long years of study, searching, praying and hoping I have acquired the satisfactory answers to my question. Now, all the answers to my questions portray a magnificent tapestry of life that I cannot deny. I have a deep faith and testimony in those answers but I kid no one. I have not been dead so I cannot paint the picture for anyone. What I can do though is continue to offer answers as I have acquired them. The good thing, though, is that on occasion someone likes and accepts the answers given and become heirs of that same faith.

  Scripture says a person that is saved and accepts God goes to heaven after death. You said earlier that you don't know what happens after death, but you say you still preach what scripture says happens after death.
  
  "Details no one can give but I can give an outline according to the knowledge I have gained."
  
  Please logically explain the knowledge you have gained of life after death along with the outline. I find it faith based that you can have knowledge after death without dying yet. Don't try to use "enlightenment" or "rebirth" on this one either. I am talking about literal death, not philosophical death from which you claim wisdom.

  "Scripture says a person that is saved and accepts God goes to heaven after death."
  
  Christian scripture does not say that. Our soul will rest until the end times when His enemies have been put under His foot and satan is cast into the lake of fire. At the resurrection, Judgment Day, when the Book of Life is opened, we will live forever in His Kingdom.

  When a person dies in the Lord, they do go streight to heaven.

  I could not have replied to this topic any better. Nobody knows what death is like except those who are dead...so the question is still not understood by me.
  
  I am a Christian with a fear of God, some do not understand why the fear...my answer on that question is because I believe in God and his Word (my interpertation of the Bible-no one elses). I also believe; after death, I do want a life of love and peace, no disease, no war...that is what I want here and "Man" has destroyed that for all, not God.
  
  No matter what your religion, faith or lack of belief, I believe that my beliefs make me a better person because I want for something better after death. I'm not claiming I'm perfect, I have made huge mistakes and have turned my back on God many times, but when I take the time to sit and talk and pray to God...my life always takes a dramatic turn for the better. That is my proof to myself that I want the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost by myside here on Earth and after death.

  If you say everything is mans fault and say man is creation of God, you are saying it is Gods fault. If I raised my child to be evil, he would probably be evil. Why did God raise his children to be evil?
  
  I don't think theres anything wrong with having faith in an afterlife. I think it is possible. The part I think wrong is people telling others what will happen as if they know.

  It is MY belief and MY want to fear God, because I believe in His word.
  
  God did not start War...Man did. God does not Steal...Man did. God does not Rape or Molest Children...Man did. If you have no faith or belief in Him, how would you not know better...people want to blame God for everything, so for them he doesn't exist...
  
  I take responsibility for my own decisions and I except the consequences to them good or bad...I don't blame God for my decisions,I learn from them. If I was wrong or I hurt somebody, I apologize to that person and try my damdest to make it right...I ask for forgiveness from that person and I forgive myself...
  
  Children are brought into this World innocent, they are taught and molded by their parents and unfortunetly; society. Children aren't born liars, theifs, biggots, raciest-they are taught that as they are growing by the actions of their surroundings...if that is all they are taught, chances are that is what they will be. Who created their surroundings...God? No. Here is a take responsibility for yourself moment, while blaming God is an easy out for some, others (like myself) would look at it as a cop out a way to not take responsibility and make things right.
  
  Whether you believe in God, a higher power or are Spiritual but not religious and even if you have no belief at all...if you are a good person here on Earth...and by the way ALL OF YOU DO live by the Ten Commandments...you may have strayed off now and then, look them up...ya do, it is MY belief YOU will be with God after your time here is over.

I guess most of religions do preach something like that( They want to get enlightenment from something that is not comprehensible & beyond logic, some even claim that they realized god, another assumption of theirs is they think prophets are necessary but god can't lower his knees for his creation(busy fellow in recession).

  It seems to me like they are pretty much saying to use faith over logic as you stated with word play. I think most religious preachers know that logic puts/keeps faith in balance. If they had balanced believers, the believers likely wouldn't be dependent on the preachers. I think part of the enlightenment concept that a lot of religious have is simply wanting to have more favoritism over others. Most religious that think they are enlightened seem wanting to spread the message that they are closer to God than those not enlightened.

When Jesus was doing this "Those" that did not understand were those that God had said that their eyes would be blinded that they NOT SEE.

  We do not know how many did! It was not an experiment cause he knows the outcome and that the way that he is doin it will yield the maximum product; so to speak.
  to answer another question that I read while reading through the previous posts;
  Human biggest downfall is his arrogance, conceit, and his pride in himself for the things that was given to him or her. These things that we were given to us , we had NO control over so why are we proud?
  If we are pretty, intelligent, strong or mighty, if we have a pretty head of hair (which I do) has nothing to do with our abilities to be this way. So take this pride in your/ our self and wrap it up in Christmas wrapping paper and all that we will have is a ball of wrapping paper. Where ever we are at we can only count it as a blessing.

  It can still be an experiment if someone already knows or has a good idea of the outcome.
  
  Why are we proud? Ask the bible. It teaches that believers are favored and should be proud for believing in God. You aren't proud that God made you a human instead of an ant? If you wasn't proud, you may not believe in a God.
  
  When you say our abilities don't matter in furthering ourselves, I disagree. If a person continually works to improve themselves outside of how they are born and what they are born into, their pride and proudness could have been the main motivation that drove them to be a better person and learn new things.

Hello everyone! Well it looks like there have been some lively and useless debate as usual on this thread as in others. I just wanted to drop a note on some productive activity I've been involved with this morning.

This morning I and other leaders took our Young Men youth group and shoveled snow from around and paths to many of our community fire hydrants. This was a very worthy cause. Through their effort and faith they may have helped save a life by making way for a fireman to acquire water to put out a fire that may or may not happen. Because they have done a very noble good deed and have aided in that which was unseen (a possible fire) they have acquired greater faith in their service. This, I and the participants cannot deny. These works are written in their books of life and will be a benefit and evidence for them in the realm of spirits when they have passed on. If continued faithful in works it will help them qualify to come forth in the forward mornings of the Resurrection to dwell upon the Earth with increased responsibility and potential.

  No, I don't think thats how it works. I think it works by people to be honest enough to admit when they don't know things or to at least explain what they claim. You like many other religious seem to have a problem explaining your claims.
  
  An explanation is not: Meditation = God is Light.

  You are so right about the fact that it takes intelligence to read and understand the Holy Bible.

Look beyond your own noses. I meant amidst the back and forth tongue lashing it was a genuine statement.

As far as being a Mormon point of view I stand by my faith regardless of the shackles presented by not only the world but the fatigued within cyberspace. You would not have said it had I been an Episcopalian, Catholic, Buddhist or even a Wiccan. This should give you pause into the stereotypes you build your own minds up with. Mormon or not I have always been polite to you. Show the same respect and leave specific religions out of it. If you are truly that curious as to the specifics of my beliefs just ask. You don't need to splash little cliches with the word "Mormon" attached to it. The more you attack specific individuals the more you downgrade your own view in the eyes of others.

Thanks again for your exchanges.

  You are right in what you believe happens to the mortal body after death. However God tells us in the Bible that the earthly body returns to where it came from. Ashes to ashes dust to dust but the soul lives on forever. We Christians don't care what happens to the flesh as long as we know our soul lives for eternity in the Heavenly realm with God
