ABC
Of course, there are scriptures which have said that when you achieve
your Self Realization, then you become collectively conscious – you
become. But it is a term which is very difficult to grasp before you are
realized. What happens? What is collective consciousness?
What happens to you is that you start feeling yourself and others on
your fingertips – seven centres. Doctors have reached a conclusion
that these are the endings of the sympathetic nervous system, but they
do not know the decoding of it. They do not know how they are, how
they work out, what is their work.
WHAT HAPPENS
NEXT?
When the enlightenment takes place, you get a feeling on the
fingertips. The centres get enlightened. The light comes in. When the
enlightenment takes place, then the numbness goes away and you
start feeling it. But when Realization takes place, then these fingers
become even more alert, much more alert and you start feeling.
When you are realized you also start feeling the cool. You start
feeling the breeze going through you. This is the breeze of the Holy
Ghost. This is the Chaitanya Lahari described by Shankaracharya.
Shankaracharya preached advaita. That means we are like small drops
separated from the ocean. And when we go back to the ocean, we
become the ocean. The powers of the ocean come into us. This is the
advaita of Shankara. That means you become powerful, as the ocean
is.
