Penmetsa Venkata Satya SURYA NARAYANA RAJU's Blogs >> self-inquiry. Is it possible to define enlightenment.

.Trying to define enlightenment is an attempt of mind to translate unknowable into the language of the known.You can live unknowable but you cannot translate it
into the field of the known.So we cannot define enlightenment.Enlightenment cannot be achieved,it is not a physical thing to achieve.Landing on moon,building ships
require definitions because they are physical things which
are measurable.But living entity is immeasurable,how can you
define it.If you say i am a human you are referring to my
body which is physical and measurable.But you cannot
define the essence of my being which is Pure consciousness.
By the time you reach and settle as Pure conscious being
mind is dissolved in it and who is there to define it.
Enlightenment is a state of innocence,not knowing,how
can you define it.But you can reach the state of innocence
without defining it.All definitions are a hindrance for enlightenment.Definitions are necessary in the physical
dimension,because we can measure physical things which are
lifeless.So definitions are enormously important in science
which deals with physical things,where as if we try to approach truth through definitions we fail to reach the truth
because the very defining of truth is a hindrance to reach the truth.
