In an awakened state, you will largely draw harmonious occurrences into your life and blessings flow to those around you. Listen to Sri Krishnaji on what is a state of Oneness?

You could compare a state to an atmosphere within you. Your state arises because of your thoughts, emotions, perceptions, your brain's neuro chemistry, your brain's neuro physiology and the level of your Kundalini or spiritual energy at that moment. These combined factors result in you feeling either a suffering state or a no- suffering state or even an awakened state.

If you want o stop the chaos of your life and take your life towards harmony and peace, you must bring attention to your state.

If you are in a suffering state of anger, anxiety or sadness, you draw chaotic events into your life.

While if you are in beautiful states of joy, connection or peace, you will largely draw harmonious events to yourself.

If you are in an awakened state, a state of oneness, you rise beyond pain and pleasure, fear or gratification. And blessings flow to those around you.

Now what is oneness?

At its first level, oneness is a state where there is no conflict.

At its second level, oneness is a state of no disconnection.

At the third and the ultimate level, there is no separation or division.

At the first level, when your conflicting emotions and desires subside and the painful war in your mind stops- you experience the first level of oneness as calm, as a deep inner tranquility and serenity.

At the second level of oneness, your heart opens to feeling what others around you are feeling.

You feel one with their joys and sorrows as if they were your own joys and sorrows.

You experience people’s inner rage or rapture. You don't judge them by their outward behaviors, appearances and attitudes.

The walls around your heart come crashing. Great love and compassion arise in you. Class, gender, caste, race, or ideology - nothing can disconnect you. You feel a kinship with the whole world.

At the third level when separation disappears, division disappears- you manifest the highest form of oneness. You actually see "you are" your brother, your sister, your mother, your rival. You are the tree, the butterfly and the earth. You see you are the weak. You are the strong. You are the ignorant. You are the sage. You are all life. You are God. You are the universe.

You see that there is nothing that is not you.

When you experience this level of oneness, we say you have tasted enlightenment.
