When your dreaming the body is real. The pain is real
But once you know the body and world is a dream- mind you , you may imagine you have reached the state of awakening – but knowing and understanding that this is a dream is not the same as being awake.
The experience of bring awake is very different. It is not something that happens slowly. It is sudden. And like a million blazing suns suddenly there is no darkness. This light is you. And you know it. And now you have started. The body is lifeless but you come back
Very few ever reach that. Not one in 100 million. Since it is rare you will say it does not exist
Even with this experience, Janak raja had to learn more from Ashtakvakra
But in your haste – which is nothing more than ego – you will want to teach and “ help “ others. Harsh reality is all the books that you have read, understand, knowledge of Sanskrit will not help you – nor does that constitute even one step towards God
Wake up. Give up this reading. Just enjoy the bliss. Test your bliss. Have a huge fight with your spouse or friend. Let someone hate you and immediately go to meditate and see if you have tremendous bliss. Your anger should melt.
