Seeker: How do I proceed after reflection and meditation on words of wisdom so that I may be truly enlightened?
Guru: Here comes the fourth principle for enlightenment of a genuine seeker. As a result of constant reflection and meditation, the seeker is grasped by the inner meaning of the words of wisdom meditated upon and is dragged into action enshrining that very inner meaning. Without positive action no amount of thinking will achieve its intended purpose. That is why wise people say that not to act upon your knowledge is not different from having no knowledge of that matter.
Seeker: Does it mean that my action is my enlightenment or is it the clear understanding that was proposed as enlightenment at the beginning of this discourse?
Guru: Now we must pay attention to the fifth principle of enlightenment that deals with the transformation of the seeker whereby a new perception or understanding unfolds itself leading the seeker to become a new person in virtue of the enlightenment received. Enlightenment enters the vry core of the person enlightened where there is no difference between the reality of the person and his or her understanding. Now the seeker is a wise person as everything is seen in new and clear perspectives without being intolerant of others' views that may be quite different. Others will be able to understand the enlightened one only when they too become enlightened. Thus a wise person is bound to be resisted by people with vested interests as in the case of the philosopher Socrates or that of Jesus Christ who was accepted as spiritual master by his disciples and is undoubtedly a Mahaguru of all times.
