How Buddha Got Enlightenment?
Gautama
approached all the known kings of the day. He was very smart in terms of
intelligence and his ambition was very great, if he could go to a place usually
one could pick it up for years, he would do it in weeks. There’re eight types
of Samadhi, he achieved all eight of them, but still he knew, this is not
fullness of life still longing.
When
nothing else worked, he took it to an extremist called the Samanas. One of the
most basic aspects of their life is, they never ask for food, just keep
walking, walking, and walking. Gautama took the path so severely that he didn’t
walk in the direction as to where food is, he simply walked straight. In the
process, he destroyed his body so badly. His body became so weak. He became all
skin and bones because he did not go in search of food, unless it came to him,
he never ate.
One
day he came to the banks of Niranjana
this is a small stream just about two feet flowing little swiftly. He came, he
tried to cross. In the middle he could not take another step, he had no
strength in his body. There was a dead branch of a tree, he held on to it. I do
not know how long he stood there. In his weakness, in his inability to stand
there, clinging to this must have felt like a long time. It might have been
just a few minutes, it may be few hours, I don’t know but in his experience it
was a long time. He just hung there, he has no strength to take the next step
but he is not the kind to give up.
Then
suddenly he realized the problem that he was trying to realize, not allowing
that to take him, he is trying to take that. He is trying to realize something
which is limitless, which is boundless then he became absent. Suddenly he had
the strength to take those few steps across the river, and he went and sat down
under a Board Tree (Which will known as later Bodhi Tree). He sat down and decided, “He will sit here, either he must become a part of it or he will die
here. He will not get up from this place.”
The
full moon was rising and he attained to his fullest. Buddha sat there in a
certain state of ecstasy and blissfulness. It was says that when Buddha got
awakened then little earthquake was felt by everyone. But no one understood
that why it’s happened. After this Buddha get up and saw the nature is not as
he was shown, everything what he felt first is now different. The way of see
the nature is changed after awaken. I hope everyone will feel this moment once
in their life.
