A blunt no! Enlightenment is never gained that way. If we look at history of all who gained enlightenment in the entire history of mankind, one thing became extremely clear… all worked for welfare of mankind. None was after enlightenment for individual self. To work for welfare of mankind all the time, to reach hidden spiritual truths of life man gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and prophet Mohammed indulged in sacred texts of different religions of world and were finally graced by God Almighty with endowment of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana). Truly, enlightenment was not that easily achieved.
Prime reason why in last about 150 years amongst 7000 million people existing world over only Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana finally reached God. Yoga meditation was the path to reaching God in present life. Journey of spirituality was always an uncharted path, totally unknown. The path to God Almighty involved our indulgence in path of nishkama karma yoga, jnana yoga (path of absolute wisdom), path of absolute truthfulness, having 100% faith in God Almighty and practice of absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation.
Karma had to be negated to zero to reach God. We had to establish absolute control over five senses and mind, only then we reached stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi (absolute nothingness) when not a single thought entered our brain uninvoked. The foremost of all requirements on path of pure spirituality was 100% faith in God and travelling path of absolute truthfulness throughout. In the present world mesmerized by glare of worldly riches most human beings left spiritual journey midway only to become patients of severe depression. Steam develops only when water heats to 100° centigrade, never before.
Some seekers left spiritual path at number 90, others at 95 and some at 98. Only if they had requisite patience, resilience they would have reached God before succumbing to material pressures of life. If we search for a spiritual preceptor to guide us in the journey of life, we may not get one. Swami Vivekananda got Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa still; he did not want to complete his spiritual journey. For Swami Vivekananda working for community was more important than reaching God. Despite Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa advising him otherwise, he did not change his goal of life.
I started in pursuit of God six years of age. By 13 my simple desire, wish turned to firm conviction that in this very life I have to see and meet God. I cannot express in words how much desperate I was at that stage of life. Every single human being I came across, I used to put forward many queries. In every act of mine lay seeds of reaching God! No matter how much I searched, I did not get a spiritual master guru. But in my desperation, I was never heartbroken. I all the time prayed to God to show me right path. From beginning of life I worked for welfare of mankind. Knowingly or unknowingly I never hurt one.
I pursued path of nishkama karma yoga from the very beginning. I had absolute faith in God from six years of age. I walked path of absolute truthfulness from six years of age, so much so that if God Almighty came disguised to change my path… I would have not. Travelling path of jnana yoga (absolute wisdom) I contemplated, indulged in self enquiry, path of logical reasoning while reading through sacred texts. I never believed anything even if stated in scriptures unless I reached the inner essence through logical reasoning. What people said or did was not my concern. Everything had to be proved on altar of truth.
Finally practicing absolute celibacy for a period of 14 years in continuation, I reached portals of God Almighty in the wee hours of third of August 1993 at 37 years of age. Having a Sakshat Darshan of God Almighty was not what I expected. It was all of a sudden. From 1:45 AM to 4 AM I was with God Almighty all the time. At 4:15 AM I started writing dictation from God Almighty. Only then I came to know, my kundalini had awakened fully absolutely unknown to me. I had finally realized self, realized god. Working for welfare of mankind all the time is that important inherent ingredient of spiritual path, value of which was not realized by most seekers. We must never lose faith in God if we desired reaching God in present life.
