Enlightenment

As with all learning, spiritual enlightenment is gained little by little. We can’t learn and know everything at once. That is just not possible. If anything, it would overwhelm us. In the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, we have to be very patient. The answers will come when we are ready, sometimes when we least expect it, in ways we didn’t imagine.

As long as we keep on the spiritual path, we will make progress. The progress might be so gradual that we are not aware of it. But one day, when we look back, we will see we have progressed far. As long as we do not give up, we will gain enlightenment eventually - perhaps not full enlightenment like the Buddha, but certainly some degrees of enlightenment nonertheless.

One must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. - Buddha

Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter. - Morihei Ueshiba

To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment. - Eckhart Tolle

Enlightenment or awakening is not the creation of a new state of affairs but the recognition of what already is. - Alan Watts

Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. Its seeing through the façade of pretence. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true. - Adyashanti

Enlightenment is when a wave realizes it is the ocean. - Thich Nhat Hanh
