' The Arrival of Enlightenment '...

Does enlightenment come all of a sudden? Or do we have to work slowly for it by degrees? The answer varies with the case concerned. Most need time to fit and equip themselves for the glorious moment of insight, but a few receive it in a day. It must be remembered that it does not actually happen in time but out of it, in the great Stillness. The man does not know the absolute final truth a second before--and then it is all there. How soon it can settle down in him will also vary with different persons--it was a few hours in one case but three years in another. .............................
