''in the process of attaining or being one with god ,only thought becomes the man hindrance,obstacle.

''absolute silence in the mind led to oneness of god''(again its written in scriptures)
........so....is it that ,whatevere written in the scriptures is false?(humble question).

thought create this world,if there is no thoughts,then the light of god directly enters in mind,and person feels like enlightenment.(not me again)
just want to know what u guys think

should one believe in scriptures?
Jaideepv,
I think these scriptures and what the wisest wisdom is saying in this regard, is to be able to slow down the thoughts, which drain energy and which muddy the water, and then focus all of your awareness on the present moment.
That's most, if not all of it.

Think of it. If there really is no time, except as a construct of our thoughts, then in order to actually experience eternity ( enlightenment/nirvanna ), we need to be able to stop the thoughts and just be fully aware of NOW.

Does that make sense to you ?

btw, don't beat yourself up if you can't easily achieve this state. I think it is very hard to do, as we have let our thoughts run rampant for our whole lives. Taming them is no easy task.
