Enlightenment

At times we struggle to understand. We cannot fathom what is happening. We feel unfulfilled. Something is not right...

And then, at a certain moment, everything comes together. In a moment of clarity we understand. Then we know.

This "knowing" or "knowledge" is more than to analyse something with your brain. Once you know, it creates a wonderful feeling in you: “Now, that is it then!” “Ah, I can see now...”

This gives true happiness – this moment that something which has been simmering in our sub-consciousness breaks through in our consciousness. It is then that light breaks through the darkness, that our life seems to move forward.Our life is filled with joy - real, spontaneous joy.

Happiness is to experience such moments, to feel the ecstacy of enlightenment. It is happiness which reflects how we moved from unclarity to the light. We have had a moment of change, we have been transformed.

When God touches us, it brings these moments of clarity. Our lives are renewed. We are refreshed.


But even where we experience the smaller, non-religious moments of enlightenment, it is a gift from God. Through this gift we realise that life is beautiful. And we are encouraged to seek for even more such moments of enlightenment.
