Towards the end of the long episode of life one often encounters what we can call enlightenment. Enlightenment is a scary thing, because it reveals to us the truth . The truth on it's part is never to our liking as it always snatches solace from us.
So beware of enlightenment if thou hast not the courage to digest what it reveals. Believe me the truth is scary and can trigger the most violent shock that you have till now suffered. This shock shall of course have a heightened impact upon those who profess to be men of resolute faith .
Enlightenment shall at once free you from the cycle of life and death but are you ready to be freed from it or are you just pretending to be a lover of wisdom.
Enlightenment may not necessarily meet us towards the end of our life. It may meet us midway, in youth or to some even in infancy. But the effect of that revelation can have varied consequences depending upon the nature of the individual and the grit shown by him .
For all I know I feel I should never have embarked upon this path because I feel I can't live with the truth, not after having lived with lies for such a long time and deriving comfort from them.
But I don't have control over what I shall discover and the consequences of that discovery.
Ignorance is bliss. This is I reiterate with supreme confidence.
Enlightenment can supply peace only to those who can reconcile with the frightening revelations it brings along with it. To those who think enlightenment is just another name for the vindication of their beliefs and faith and hence shall lead them to instant salvation are not only grossly mistaken but are also paving way for untold misery which shall befall them if they happen to meet enlightenment in their life.
As a man who wishes earnestly for the peace and welfare of mankind I hope no one ever encounters enlightenment without having acquired the necessary means in the form of courage and resilience to accept it for what it is.
