Enlightenment Is Not Something You Can Do Anything With Q: What can you do with Enlightenment in terms of service and helping others?

A: You can be yourself. The most delicate and difficult task possible to accomplish in this life is simply to be Free. One who succeeds is very rare. It is hardly ever seen. If aperson can be Free, it is the greatest blessing. It means an alternative to the human mess is possible. Simply being awake and staying awake is ademonstra¬ tion of the solution. Living Freedom is the solution. You become the answer. You become the solution. It's very rare. Few have the courage to do it. Q: But what about compassion and the suffering of other people?

A: Enlightenment is not something you can do anything with. If Enlightenment is real it will possess you. After that what will happen will happen but you won't know how it happened. 2 6 7
