It certainly needs every living being to rise to such heights as Gautam Buddha. Collect all these flowers! And these fragrances too from the beyond! You have to bring them with you. And persuade Gautam Buddha. It is your birthright. It is your nature. Persuade him to come behind you. He will come first as a shadow, but the shadow will be very solid. It is like a foundation for enlightenment. It will have immense warmth surrounding you. It will be almost tangible. On the second step, the buddha comes in front of you and you become the shadow. Your shadow is just a shadow. And then it starts disappearing in the light and radiance of the buddha. This is followed by the third stage and the final stage where you become enlightened, and disappear. You have been just a shadow, and a mask. You disappear completely, only the buddha remains. This remaining consciousness is your essential being. It is your existential truth. It is your life. It is you the existential one. To know this, every moment becomes a celebration. I celebrate myself now and here. And I hope soon the day will come when you will be celebrating yourself too. Soon it will become contagious. With such festivity, laughter, sanity and TTrraannssffoorrm maattiioonn SSeerriieess
