What exactly happens after enlightenment, Moksha, Nirvana or whatever it is. Do I become nothing, alone, nowhere, just consciousness? I don't know. #SpiritualSunday #Enlightenment
Such questions are ‘child’s fantasy’ because:
What are “your” chances of ‘attaining enlightenment?’ (Virtually none.) So why do we ask? Just for idle curiosity?
The question is being asked by ego-mind for a mentally-understandable explanation. #SpiritualSunday #Enlightenment
Egos & minds can never ‘get enlightened’ & the explanation is ineffable.
The question presumes that ‘enlightenment’ is an ‘event’ (What “happens?) that takes place in ‘time’ (“after”) that immediately forces some radical change (“becoming nothing or nowhere.”). #SpiritualSunday
Enlightenment is just What Is, what already Is. Ordinary life in dream, minus dreamer. Awareness & ‘Oneness’ with everything minus the false ego-sense or “I”-sense, that likes or dislikes it, judges it good or bad, wants to ‘control’ it this way or that way. #SpiritualSunday
That's the most amazing thing about ‘enlightenment.' Instantly, you realize nothing happened, there's no before & after to it. You are the blank canvas of Awareness where everything rises & falls, not illusory individual judging or being a victim of what rises & falls.
BUT that is your natural state, so it feels like you simply breathed a sigh of relief and felt, “Oh, I’m back in my natural state, that I never left. Cool!” #SpiritualSunday #Enlightenment

Shukracharya: A great knowledgeable person who was respected even by Devas and Saints. He was an expert in Political Science. He founded the Shukra Niti. In his niti he has laid down the following points:

One should never reveal certain things in front of others.
It’s great if you are loved and respected by all, but don’t show it off in front of others- doing so will lower your respect in the eyes of others

If you have to face insult at any point in your life, it’s best to keep it to yourself; telling that to everyone you know will make you feel insulted in front of others as well.

Tantra is an abstract religion, it doesn't have a clear definition. Different seekers define it differently, many not even consistent with each other. Tantra, though, is clearly recognized as being very different from the ancient Hindu Vedic tradition. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Before trying to delve into tantrism, it is important to understand that this is not a single coherent system. It is rather a tradition that gradually evolved from an accumulation of practices and rituals, in order to attain the grace of the divine. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The practitioner of tantra uses his own prana or divine energy in order to harness it to the universal prana, thereby attaining his goal. The goal in question could be either spiritual, material or both. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tantra in Hinduism could be considered to be parallel to the Hindu Vedic tradition. Tantra contains written records of the Agama, which comes in four main parts, as follows: #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Jnana or metaphysical knowledge
Yoga or meditative practices
Kriya or ritual practices
Charya or ethical and religious principles of conduct #SanatanaDharma#Hinduism
Most of the staunch Hindu Vedic practitioners, however, consider the Tantras to be anti-Vedic in character and hence, altogether shun both the cult and the practitioners of the same. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The universe consists of a Mahabrahmanda, or grand Cosmos, and of numerous Brihatbrahmanda, or macrocosms evolved from it. As is said by the Nirvana Tantra, all which is in the first is in the second. #spirituality#Cosmostwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
In the latter are heavenly bodies and beings, which are microcosms reflecting on a minor scale the greater worlds which evolve them. "As above, so below." This mystical maxim of the West is stated in the Vishvasara Tantra as follows: #spirituality#Cosmostwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
