Arjuna


"Arjuna: How is the enlightened one recognised ? How does he speak, how does he sit, how does he walk ? " (II,54) 
Should he be wearing robes of gold and saffron, ride gilded carriages, bear distinction? Is there a special mark? Is there a visible sign? 
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Explains : 
"Divine life doesn't make you serious, because it is all a play. It is maya. The so- called religious people with all their rituals are too serious to be realized. A realized person bubbles with laughter. He does not know how to control his laughter or how to hide his joy when he sees people unnecessarily serious. There is nothing in this world for a serious person like Christ to feel sad about. Give ip your silly sadness and sulkings. See how Christ went and talked to multitudes. How He opened his heart to all the people around and how He tried to give them happiness. Seeing their insensitivity to joy one feels like crying. 
The difference between a person who is realized and not realized is that the attention which was giving myth as reality to you is gone now, is gone higher. The attention can see that it is a myth. The illusion doesnot exist after enlightenment. For example, the human mind believes he is doing everything, but actually he sees that he is doing only dead work whilst all the living work is done by the Divine. 
The mastery of your attention will come when you will start seeing that it is all a myth that upsets you. Just throw it away and understand that you are a eternal life. That the only thing that keeps you away from it is ignorance , and ignorance is too simple to understand that you have accepted myth as truth. Just drop it, it is all myth. You will be amazed how your attention will rise and you will see these nonsensical things which used to frighten you or elate you , will drop out and you will just smile at it. Only then you will fully enjoy yourself because your attention would be completely drenched in the bliss of Self " 
Lord Krishna replies- 
"when the mind becomes free of its content of desires and the spirit is content in itself then such a one is said to be in Peace." (II,55)
