Truly awake Gautama Buddha

The quote as stated by you, "I have never met a man who was truly awake" by Gautama Buddha clearly and visibly explains the impediment in the life of Gautama Buddha when he made this statement. When young Gautama Buddha confronted his parents by asking why some people looked frail and old. His parents were adamant not to let the child know the truth about the non-permanence of life.

They avoided the issue at all costs. Every courtier was made clear that the young Gautama (Siddhartha) must never know this truth of life. The inherently knew that whenever Gautama (Siddhartha) realizes this aspect of life would immediately leave the house in search for the absolute truth. This the parents never wanted.

The curiosity within young Gautama had already taken roots. He inherently felt that something was wrong somewhere. He wanted to find out what it was. In search of truth... young Gautama (Siddhartha) became a wandering monk. In the early stages of life Gautama Buddha made the biggest mistake of his life.

He left for the confines of forests without taking leave of his dutiful wife and child. He merely touched the feet of both and left for the forlorn jungles. None told him that simply touching the feet of his wife and child did not absolve him of the accumulated karma.

The karma had to be burnt in totality. Only then one could gain enlightenment. That was possible by churning the karma at its roots. Getting rid of the five senses and the mind is the biggest task every serious seeker of spirituality faces.

But Gautama Buddha in his times did not get an enlightened spiritual master to guide him on the path. He sought for the answers remaining in forlorn jungles. Finding none he came back to the community and not finding the answers there either he got frustrated.

Ultimately, outpoured from the mouth of Gautama Buddha, "I have never met a man who was truly awake" from whom Gautama Buddha could have learnt the intricacies of spiritual life. In the times of Gautama Buddha there was not a single enlightened soul who could have guided Gautama Buddha on the correct spiritual path.

One who gains enlightenment becomes truly awake! And one who has finally awakened... goes to the abode of God, the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism) finally.

Being Spiritual
Being spiritual means following the path towards God Almighty! Every human being is primarily spiritual. The fact that the body of a human being does not belong to one cannot be denied. It has been manifested by the spirit within... the soul atman residing within our heart. Our soul atman is the absolute owner of the body for the present manifestation. Everything we do... the fruits of our karma always belong to the soul atman within.

Spiritual Awakening
If you truly desire traveling the spiritual path... you need learn the Wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all! Everything that is required to be known on the spiritual path is contained in Bhagavad Gita. One single document... the sacred Bhagavad Gita teaches all right from the first manifestation as an amoeba to the last... the 8.4 millionth manifestation when a human being gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha).

Spiritual Experience
Spirituality is that subtle truth of life in absence of which no living being can survive. It is pure spirituality that makes one aware of the spiritual awakenings on the spiritual path. Reaching the end of life... gaining enlightenment is the cosmic goal fixed by God Almighty. Every form of life shall gain enlightenment in the 8.4 millionth manifestation come whatever may... doing it now in the present manifestation is becoming a Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed in this life itself.

Spiritual Enlightenment
The weirdest spiritual experience I have ever had was when I took absolute control over the senses and the mind. I was nearing my goal of self realization... way around 1993. The moment God Almighty came in my vision on one-to-one basis after having reached the level of Nirvikalpa Samadhi... I realized the potential of my achievements.

Spiritual Path
Enlightenment is pronounced enlightenment. It is never pronounced spiritual enlightenment for the reason that traveling the path of spirituality one gains enlightenment... never otherwise! No religious person ever gains enlightenment. One needs travel the spiritual path to gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha).
