You can not capture the State of Presence with your mind. It is uncapturable by the Mind. There is no use of Enlightenment in this world, except that you become peaceful internally and You are no longer against what is. You have learned to rest like a Dog. You can do whatever you like, or even invent new machines, You can even enjoy pleasures, but you don't chase those for your happiness. Circumstance loose their control over you or You are not interested in manipulating the circumstances. It does not give you anything in life. It actually takes everything away from you internally. You recognize the transient nature of life. There is nothing to hold on to. As of now, I am not even in the business of enlightening others. People are not ready for it. They can not arrive it by some volition on their part, though it does not appear so externally. You got into this trap cause you were born in this Society. Society install stupid ideas of chase in you. If you were born in isolation and away from Human beings, probably, you would have neither been introduced to the idea of Enlightenment nor the Money. Both are concepts made by the Human mind. You are chasing these ideas cause someone has installed them in You. This universe has Ying-Yang nature. Everthing has a negative side. But, enlightened has none, cause it is not a thing. But you only experience the negative and positive side of mind-dominated state. You can not tell if enlightened state has positives or negatives because you do not judge "what is." You may renounce your wealth and become poor externally, but it is not a pre-requisite to arrive at Awkening. There are no rules to find enlightenment. It is just that you need to figure out what is stopping you from being present in this moment. What thoughts are sucking your attention? Is it money? Is it sex? Is it food? As such there is nothing wrong with any of these things. You can have money, sex and food in your natural state. What are your chases? What are the lies you have accepted? An enlightenment man can not have sex? An enlightenment man can not have meat? The good thing with money, status, and fame is that You can chase money, You can chase status or fame, because you know what they are, precisely. You can not chase anything in life that you don't know. The state of enlightenment is the same. You don't know what is it or how it feels. I am not saying this to sound mystical or anything like that. I have no such intentions. I am not here to impress you. After arriving at the enlightenment, you actually become fully empty, You are left with nothing. By nothing I mean : No ideas, No beliefs. You may say you are left with the sense of "I am." But, that is naive way to put it. Perhaps, you may still have money, or perhaps your house. But, the idea of them being yours no more catches your attention. They may still be yours on papers, but they are not yours in your mind. The "my" link is broken. After enlightenment, no ideas is Your. Not even the idea of "I am enlightened".
Yes, wanting enlightenment is also an Idea. When you see many people like Osho, Acharya Prashant and similar like them, you might think these guys have got some special insights of life, and you may believe that it is consequence of the enlightenment. But, it is not the case. The reality is that you become empty first. Post enlightenment, you shower your perspective on the world. But this does not make your perspective any special.
The state is enlightenment is just a state of a dog or a cat. Just present, not even having the idea of present in the now, you can not come to the present by using your thinking. Your thinking is the past and you thinking is projecting the future. You can not become present by reading or practicing "The Power of Now." Instead of being present, your mind will dictate you how to be present. These are just thoughts guiding you, which you read from the book. The actual presence manifests itself, when seeking-mind is dead. When the Seeking comes to a Stop. Then you are in your natural state. You become present like a Dog. After that, you can hold on to your wealth if you have. You don't need to renounce it. You just don't seek more of it anymore. Even if you try (I don't want to use the word "Seek" here) to multiply your wealth, it does not come from the state of the Greed or lack. Because Greed and sense of lack are manifestations of the Mind. Mind is cloud that may take you over from time to time in unnatural state of being.
