What is the highest state of Enlightenment? - extract from the book Living With Himalayan Masters

When the senses are well controlled and withdrawn from the objects of the world, then sense perceptions no longer create images in the mind. The mind is then trained in one pointedness. When the mind no longer recalls thought patterns from the unconscious, a balanced state of mind leads to a higher state of consciousness. A perfect state of serenity established in sattva is the highest state of enlightenment.

The practice of meditation and non attachment is the key notes. A very firm conviction is essential for establishing a definite philosophy of life. Intellect intervenes and blind emotion misguides. Though both are great powers, they should be known first, analyzed and then directed towards the source of intuition. Intuition is the only source of true knowledge. Whatever appears in the world is unrel because of its constantly changing nature. Reality is hidden beneath all these changes.
