(ithe& one is as%eep o& one isawake) the&e is no p%ace in between. *ence Buddha says en%ightenent is a sudden

e+pe&ience) it is not g&adua%, it is not that you a&&ie in steps. (n%ightenent cannot bediided into pa&ts) it is an indiisib%e, o&ganic unity. (ithe& you hae it o& you dont hae it.

(n%ightenent is 2ust an awakening out o! s%eep. 't is to becoe awa&e.• 3en is a ethod o! awakening, not a theo%ogy. 't does not ta%k about 4od: it !o&ces you

• The who%e science o! &e%igion can be &educed to the sing%e a&t o! awakening. A%% the

&e%igions basica%%y a&e nothing but ethods o! awakening. ethods a&e di!!e&ent becausepeop%e a&e di!!e&ent, but the goa% is the sae — the goa% is awa&eness. The goa% is utte&,abso%ute, consciousness.
