I remember how Dad used to always say that everything has two sides. “Beta, har cheez ke do pehelu hote hai.” He would say.

Things that parents say in our childhood make sense only when we grow up. Today, when I was meditating even this theory of Dad made sense to me.

From a long time I’ve been trying to understand the theory of Enlightenment and found my answer from Dad’s learning.

Here is what I figured out-

We, human beings are made up of energies that transform from one form to another as we grow up. When we came into this world, our energy cycle started. We consumed energy from the Earth in the form of food that we ate and returned the processed energy back to the Earth at the time of death.

According to my dad’s theory, even this energy must be having two sides- positive and negative and both flow simultaneously within us throughout our lifetime.

Everything that happens in our life is directly related to the energy that we possess.

Now, according to Science energy only tranfroms from one form to another so some part of these energies takes the form of THOUGHTS, and depending on its dominance the thoughts become positive or negative thought. Makes sense?

So an optimistic person will have the flow of positive energy overpowering the negative flow and vice versa. Hence, good people and bad people.

So according to me, the concept of enlightenment depends solely on the flow of energy. When the positive flow overpowers the negative flow consistently for a long period of time the person achieves ENLIGHTENMENT.

Please share your theory of enlightenment in the comment section below.I would love to hear about it 🙂
