Enlightenment
The spirit of a liberated soul at the state of ultimate Reality is described in the following words of Sree Sree Mentu Maharaj.
"I am Pure Consciousness, beyond time, space and causation. I am Pure Happiness in my Real Nature. I am the Truth, ultimate Reality.
I am neither the doer nor the enjoyer, but I stand as witness. Being in the background, the medium and carrier of every sound, form, touch, taste and smell, I am not perceived by the sense organs, though without Me there is no perception of them. Though I am not any sense, thought, feeling, urge or emotion, there is none of them without Me. There can be no function like seeing or hearing, birth or death, growth or decay without Me, and at the same time I am above all such functions.
I am the Holy Host of all. I am the pivot of all motions and the pilot of all acquisitions and creations. I am the abode of all and I board in all. I am Light myself, self-luminous, and I illuminate all. Everything has existence in Me and I exist in everything. There can be no existence without Me.
I am the source of all attractions and repulsions for any attachment or detachment of the mortal self, but I have neither attachment nor detachment. When any mortal self reaches Me, it comes out of all bondages of attachment or detachment, and being united with Me becomes immortal.
Every thing and every moment, being an inseparable part of my wholeness, is the whole of Me in oneness, though I have no form or limit in sequence. Without Me, thoughts, feelings and senses have no form. I am Eternal Soul and I am the universe.
In this changing world, as everything is changing, time appears to be changing. For Me there is no past, present or future. I am omnipresent. I am omnipotent. I am omniscient. I am the spirit all-pervading. No learning or might can get Me in sight. Nothing can measure Me as I am immeasurable. Every self originates from Me and stays in maya and ends in Me by removing this maya. I am the cause of all maya, but there is no maya in Me, as I am infinite and ever supreme.
I am in every self, though I have no self. Every self is not conscious of Me, but one who sees Me unites with Me and, being liberated, finds everything in Me and Me in everything. Everything else is changeable truth, but I am the changeless Truth Absolute.
Being ever conscious of Me the liberated self shines as Sat Chit Anandam."
