Enlightenment is rediscovering the principles of harmonious order within, and acknowledging that peace is the not only the highest, but the only real value that your soul can strive for. Enlightenment is freedom from preconceptions and real freedom to choose our values and beliefs. From this state of mind, we are free to act for the benefit of all. For the essence of the soul is peace, and the divinity within recognizes that are all One.
How can we arrive at enlightenment? The reason that we can arrive at enlightenment is that we have been given, from birth, all the conditions and equipped with all the tools necessary to reach such a state. These “tools and conditions” is the divinity within us, the perfect completeness of life that we all possess. We can refer to this perfect completeness as “bright mind,” in Ancient Asian term. A sense of “Conscience” comes.
Closest in meaning. Conscience is different from being legally right or wrong. Conscience has nothing to do with social norms or moral dictates from specific religious or spiritual dogma. Conscience is our conscious awareness of the divinity within, a perfect completeness of life that cannot be veiled or ignored. Through our sense of conscience, we realize when we are wrong, when we have lost our balance. Your sense of conscience is not a matter of effort - it has been given to you from birth. Enlightenment is a consciousness awareness of this state of your own life’s perfect completeness; whether you acknowledge this state or not is your choice.
