“Why should we place Christ at the top and summit of the human race? Was he kinder, more forgiving, more self-sacrificing than?
Was he wiser, did he meet death with more perfect calmness, than? Was he more patient, more charitable, than? Was he a greater philosopher, a deeper thinker, than? In what respect was he the superior of?

Was he gentler than, more universal than? Were his ideas of human rights and duties superior to those of? Did he express grander truths than? Was his mind subtler than ’s?
Was his brain equal to ’s or ’s? Was he grander in death – a sublimer martyr than? Was he in intelligence, in the force and beauty of expression, in breadth and scope of thought, in wealth of illustration, in aptness of comparison, in knowledge of the human brain and heart, of all passions, hopes and fears, the equal of, the greatest of the human race?”―Robert G. “These are the three stages of enlightenment, the three glimpses of satori.1. The first stage enlightenment:A Glimpse of the WholeThe first stage of enlightenment is short glimpse from faraway of the whole. It is a short glimpse of being.The first stage of enlightenment is when, for the first time, for a single moment the mind is not functioning. The ordinary ego is still present at the first stage of enlightenment, but you experience for a short while that there is something beyond the ego.There is a gap, a silence and emptiness, where there is not thought between you and existence.You and existence meet and merge for a moment.And for the first time the seed, the thirst and longing, for enlightenment, the meeting between you and existence, will grow in your heart.2.
The second stage of enlightenment:Silence, Relaxation, Togetherness, Inner BeingThe second stage of enlightenment is a new order, a harmony, from within, which comes from the inner being. It is the quality of freedom.The inner chaos has disappeared and a new silence, relaxation and togetherness has arisen.Your own wisdom from within has arisen.A subtle ego is still present in the second stage of enlightenment.The Hindus has three names for the ego:1. Ahamkar, which is the ordinary ego.2. Asmita, which is the quality of Am-ness, of no ego.
It is a very silent ego, not aggreessive, but it is still a subtle ego.3. Atma, the third word is Atma, when the Am-ness is also lost. This is what Buddha callas no-self, pure being.In the second stage of enlightenment you become capable of being in the inner being, in the gap, in the meditative quality within, in the silence and emptiness.For hours, for days, you can remain in the gap, in utter aloneness, in God.Still you need effort to remain in the gap, and if you drop the effort, the gap will disappear.Love, meditation and prayer becomes the way to increase the effort in the search for God.Then the second stage becomes a more conscious effort. Now you know the way, you now the direction.3. The third stage of enlightenment:Ocean, Wholeness, No-self, Pure beingAt the third stage of enlightenment, at the third step of Satori, our individual river flowing silently, suddenly reaches to the Ocean and becomes one with the Ocean.At the third Satori, the ego is lost, and there is Atma, pure being. You are, but without any boundaries. The river has become the Ocean, the Whole.It has become a vast emptiness, just like the pure sky.The third stage of enlightenment happens when you have become capable of finding the inner being, the meditative quality within, the gap, the inner silence and emptiness, so that it becomes a natural quality.You can find the gap whenever you want.This is what tantra callas Mahamudra, the great orgasm, what Buddha calls Nirvana, what Lao Tzu calls Tao and what Jesus calls the kingdom of God.You have found the door to God.You have come home.”―Swami Dhyan Giten.
“Consider the sunlight. You may see it is near, yet if you follow it from world to world you will never catch it in your hands.
Then you may describe it as far away and, lo, you will see it just before your eyes. Follow it and, behold, it escapes you; run from it and it follows you close. You can neither possess it nor have done with it. From this example you can understand how it is with the true Nature of all things and, henceforth, there will be no need to grieve or to worry about such things.”―Huang Po.
