Another oldie but maybe goodie. Tom

Enlightenment is not an experience it is an understanding that comes
when the intellect makes the final discrimination.  The understanding
does not happen in any mind. Self knows Self. The knowing of Self is
so strong as to leave no doubt about what has transpired.  That
knowing imprints on the small self what is known to be beyond the
ability of any mind to know.  It is the expression of the lively
absolute playing out in a physiology.  Brahmin looks out through these
eyes, talks through this mouth and animates this body.  The cosmic
Self comes to the forefront and the small self is content to run the
relative life.  Nothing in your life changes and yet everything in
your life changes. It is the ultimate Paradox, which is the clue as to
the profundity of what has just transpired.
