POWER

Spiritual power is one and the same: freedom from the intellect and the attainment of understanding.

However, those who have used this intellect to acquire money, mansions, positions, and prestige, and those who haven't yet but hope to become happy by creating money, position, and prestige with their intellect, they believe the intellect is the greatest thing.

But the difference between intellect and understanding is vast. Just as a tiny straw is in the ocean, so is intellect, and understanding is the ocean itself.

So whatever you wish to gain from that straw, the ocean will always give you more.

For example, what you can get from one crore (ten million) will always be less than what you can get from a diamond mine. But if someone considers this one crore as everything and never even tries to obtain the diamond mine that lies beneath their feet, they lose so much without even knowing it, because there's no limit to how many crores they can obtain from that diamond mine.

Just as Krishna is both a king and the master of infinite life. He attained something greater than the intellect, which allows him to resolve all of life's problems with great ease. Whether it's problems of war, the jungle, the royal palace, relationships, or spirituality—for him, everything is easy, natural, and readily available.

So, if you also wish to attain this power, embark on the journey of how to achieve it and make life easier. Because life is also about what happens when you leave your body, and you can only learn how to live that by freeing yourself from the intellect, by becoming a Bodhi, by becoming a seer.

In human life, there are two kinds of paths: the path of intelligence (Buddhi) and the path of enlightenment (Bodhi). Intelligence teaches us logic, knowledge, and worldliness. It teaches us to calculate right from wrong, to look at profit and loss, and to plan for success in life. However, it often entangles us in the web of 'I' and 'mine.' This is the very trap we are all caught in, limiting our lives.

The Difference Between Intelligence and Enlightenment

Intelligence (Buddhi) is logic-driven and is connected to the mind. It helps us solve problems, analyze things, and make decisions. We use intelligence to establish our place in the material world. It helps us build a good career, earn money, and gain social status. But intelligence has its limits. It cannot connect us to inner peace, happiness, or the deeper meaning of life.

Enlightenment (Bodhi) is connected to the heart and consciousness. It is based on self-experience and is beyond logic and arguments. Bodhi is the state where we come to know the deeper truth of our existence. It is not knowledge, but an experience. Bodhi liberates us from the bondage of 'I' and 'mine' and gives us the feeling of being one with the entire universe.

Life After Self-Realization: The Life of Bodhi

When spiritual great men like Mahavir, Buddha, Krishna, Shiva, and Kabir attained self-realization, their lives were no longer guided by intelligence but by enlightenment. They left the small world of 'I' and embraced the vast world of 'we.' Their lives were not limited to their own joys and sorrows but became a path for the whole world.

* Buddha and Mahavir: They understood the impermanence of life and gave up attachment and illusion. Their lives flowed like a calm river, with a stream of compassion, peace, and love at every step. They did not live only for themselves but considered the suffering of every creature as their own.

* Krishna and Shiva: The miracles and mysteries seen in their lives are a result of their enlightenment. Krishna lived every situation of life like a divine play. He fought battles and loved, but he was not entangled in anything. Similarly, Shiva's life is full of contradictions. On one hand, he is a yogi, and on the other, he is a householder. All this was possible because they were living from the depth of enlightenment, not from the logic of intelligence.

* Kabir: He showed extraordinariness while living an ordinary life like us. He was a weaver, but his words contained the truth of the universe. He spoke against social evils, but there was never bitterness in his words. His life shows that to attain enlightenment, one does not need to leave the world but needs to be free from it while living in it.

All these great men teach us that when we live by enlightenment instead of intelligence, our lives change completely. We rise above small selfish interests and connect with a vast consciousness. This is why they, being human like us, appear to us as divine. Their lives are a mystery because intelligence cannot understand them; they can only be experienced.

Can we also go beyond the limits of intelligence and try to live our lives with enlightenment?

So, attain that power which makes one divine.
