A. TA. Enlightenment. No journey. No destination. No path

As has been clarified countless times, there is no such thing as a ‘truly spiritually awakened person’ nor ‘unawakened’ person parroting their path’s teachings…because there is no person. The separate entity (that either ‘gets awakened’ or ‘doesn’t get awakened’) is the illusion. There is only Being.

“The Self (Being) is always the Self and there is no such thing as ‘attaining it.’ Who is to ‘attain’ what, and how, when all that exists is the Self?” - Ramana Maharshi.

“There is only the ‘I am.’ Not I am this or I am that, I am awakened or I am still seeking & parroting. Indeed, there is no “I.” Only “Am,” pure Beingness. The illusion is all these dream-characters thinking “they” are the doer, the seeker, the student, teacher or ‘awakener.’ - Sri Nisargadatta
