The only difference that persists between the one who has witnessed Satori and the one who doesn’t is, the act of thinking logically. Suzuki says “If you have been in the habit of thinking logically according to the rules of dualism, rid yourself of it and you may come around somewhat to the viewpoint of Zen…That act is apparently alike to us both, but who can tell what a wide gap there is subjectively between your drinking and my drinking? In your drinking there may be no Zen, while mine is brim-full of it.” Suzuki emphasized that Satori is right there, but society believes in its elusiveness, thereby implanting in our mind, that Satori is difficult or impossible. Liberating us from the logical circle, to be precise, this metaphysical concept of Satori is not really metaphysical at all.
#PATH TO SATORI FREE#
Satori means to break free from the shackles of dualism and create a ‘new’ view point. This kind of dualistic thinking is the root cause of all the troubles of humanity. Breaking the Barrier of DualismĪs a part of an evolved society, where everything has a set timeline, from birth to maturity to death, we have to adhere to the set form of thinking. Suzuki also mentioned that Satori frees the mind of the ego and what remains is ‘no mind’, where our innermost reality resides. “When one examines the Zen text attentively, one cannot escape the impression that, with all that is bizarre in it, satori is, in fact, a matter of natural occurrence, of something so very simple that one fails to see the wood for the trees, and in attempting to explain it, invariably says the very thing that drives others into the greatest confusion.” This does not necessarily means that it takes forty years to achieve Satori, it can just come to you one day or may take its own time. That is to say, no satori, no zen.Įven Buddha’s brother Ananda spent unrelenting forty years in the search of Satori to finally realise Zen. But the fact remains that Zen is a product of Satori. Another name for Satori is Kensho, which means ‘seeing into one’s true nature’ – Ken means to see and sho means nature. Satori is dropping the false, entering into the real just being your ordinary self, your true nature. But with everyday, mundane complications, we tend to lose our natural state of being i.e. We, as souls, are infinite beings of light and live in the present moment, connected to cosmos at all times. Unlike what many believe, Satori is just a natural state of human mind, which is lost in the pursuit of materialistic desires and following the status quo.
In Zen Buddhism, Satori is ‘a glimpse of truth’ or a sudden moment of awakening. The reason for it is : you move in a logical circle and I am out of it.” ~ Introduction-Zen-Buddhism, D.T. That act is apparently alike to us both, but who can tell what a wide gap there is subjectively between your drinking and my drinking? In your drinking there may be no Zen, while mine is brim-full of it.
