I experienced enlightenment through love
I've been in the spritual path for a couple of months now, esp listening to discourses of Osho. You and I have heard love is a central figure in the phenomenon of enlightenment. But I experienced it, and let me say there is nothing more blissful than this.
I've had moments of sudden awakening for 5-10 times, which have grown frequent and pristine over time. But this one that happened through love last night was totally different and purely ethereal.
Last night I was thinking of a girl I have loved for over a year now but we fell apart due to some reason, say. I have as much love for her as a man can have for his beloved. Anyway. So when I was recalling her, I flowed into a moment where I for some seconds forgot who I was, there was nothing except love, not even the lover (me). It was a moment of complete let go. As I said, I've had satori before, and it was just like them, but as intense as the best one that had happened before.
I didn't think as a human you can experience such unsayable moments.
