What connects manifest human beings to the invisible, abstract values of life! It was only our thought process that connects mankind to God Almighty, world of souls’ atmans. Going by this analogy how thoughts could be a barrier to gaining enlightenment! It has rightly been said, a human being is sum total of ones thoughts at a given moment of time. What differentiates a king from a laborer… difference in our thought prowess alone! Bodily contents remaining the same, it was only our thoughts that separated us from other human beings.
Every action is a precipitation of thought. First we thought; then precipitated the same into action. The same is the case with spiritual journey. We first think, decide our goal of life and then pursue it with all eggs in one basket. Everything contained in scriptures could not be followed literally. For this we need connecting to reservoir of mind plus from where flowed all positive thoughts existing in world.
Every second thousands of thoughts flowed to our brain uninvoked. To reach stage of enlightenment we need to stop the flow of these involuntary thoughts, both positive and negative. Flow of negative thoughts can be stopped by practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation. Practicing nishkama karma yoga, we finally succeed in establishing absolute control over five senses. The moment control over five senses is established, control over mind power comes automatically. We finally reach stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi (state of absolute nothingness) when not a single thought flowed to our brain uninvoked. One immediately becomes an enlightened one.
