Become Buddha To Understand Buddha

The world is in the cave of darkness, and Buddha sitting on the top of the cave talking about the light where there is no illusion, delusion and assumption, only reality and clarity.

In the shade of darkness – we cannot see the things at it is – in the dearth of clarity, we talk about our illusion, delusion and assumptions only, not the reality.

Buddha knows – without light, the things cannot be seen and perceived as it is. That is why – he does not talk about what he sees rather he tries to make the world understand and perceive the presence of light. When they come to the light, everything will clear to them automatically. No further explanation is required.  But to experience the presence of light, we need to come out of the cave of the darkness.

Here, Buddha talks about the light of knowledge. Only with the torch of knowledge, the darkness of illusion, delusion, assumption and ignorance can be dispelled.

We people the cave dwellers have not perceived the light that Buddha talks about. The humans have been spending their lives in the cave of darkness for centuries. We have not tried to come out of the cave of darkness. We have conceived that the cave is the ultimate fate of the humans.

Now, Buddha is talking about light which appears esoteric to us.We have no idea what light is. That is why - Buddha says comes out of the shrunk  cave of the darkness to the vastness of the light. “Tamso ma Jyotirgamya”. When you come to the light from the darkness there would nothing which can mislead you.

Buddha says – yes, there is light, and everyone has potential to reach there, not only me.

The Buddha speaks in very simple language about the light. He says - Do not believe in my description of the existence of light. Just come out of the cave of darkness and experience the same  by yourselves.

Some believe in the presence of light, some reject that. Some say – no world can exist beyond the boundary of the cave. Much  discussion, debate and arguments take place. Many books and stories are written to simplify the presence of light given by lord Buddha.

Without first hand experience, the more we try to simply it, the more complicated it becomes. Book after book, story after story, philosophy after philosophy and so on, but nothing can help people to experience the presence of the light until and unless the efforts are made to leave the cave of darkness behind and head towards the direction of light indicated by lord Buddha.

The Buddha says very simple thing – do not believe in the description of anyone – just come out of the cave, that`s it! You will see what I mean to.

Buddha never claims – that only I have the capability to come out of cave of darkness and sit on the top of the cave to experience the light and the world as it without any delusion and illusion.

I need not make any story or assumption about anything, because, I see everything in the light the way it is. I never make mistake to understand rope as a snake. There are no conflict and confusion where the light is.

There are many religions in this world. And every religion is dwelling in their own created cave of darkness. The progenitor of every religion is sitting on the top of the cave and talking about the light, but their followers dwelling in the cave of darkness, without experiencing the presence of light, merely on the basis of hearing from their progenitors, they explain the light according to their perception, understanding and assumption.  And every body`s assumption and perception are different. That has created conflict and confusion in the world.

The moment the world would understand their progenitors and come out of the cave of the darkness to the immensity of the light, there would be no any confusion, conflict and commotion among human beings in the name of religion. Because, all the progenitors talk about the same light in their own words.  

By just following the Buddha (or the progenitors of other religions and cult), you will not see what Buddha sees but by becoming Buddha and reaching  to his stance point you will see what Buddha sees.
