Spiritual awakening experience share

There is an intense desire, once you have tasted something as sweet as spiritual awakening, to want to share it with people you love. Sometimes it’s so strong that you get into a proselytizing stance that awakens in them a paranoid defense, because you’re saying to them, “Who you are, just as you are, isn’t enough; if you only knew what I know, or had what I had, you could be happier than you are, and I want that for you.”

All you do is create a lot of ‘stuff’, and it takes awhile because it’s really hard to keep your hands off the people you love: “I love you, I want you to enjoy what I enjoy,” and after awhile you learn all of the karmic stuff that you create when you start to judge somebody else as doing something that is less than what they could be doing, because you don’t know why they are the way they are.

Quotes

You are the Children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. You divinities on earth. Come up, O lions, and shake off the delusion that you are sheep; you are souls immortal, spirits free, blest and eternal; you are not matter, you are not bodies; matter is your servant, not you the servant of matter.

~ Swami Vivekananda

Heart

Verse 260 of Guru Vachaka Kovai of Muruganar

Whoso has known this Heart, will never
Suffer pain or think of bondage
Or duality. Illusion
Gone, one with the Self, he knows
Only bliss supreme.

Translated by Prof. K. Swaminathan
