How a scientifically enlightened person deals with ordinary situations in life

Q: How does a spiritually enlightened person like you deal with situations like people in his family & friends make fun of him, in front of everyone brutally & torture him emotionally & psychologically? Do you focus on: "I do not exist". Or something else?

Krishna: I am enlightened scientifically (1). So I will answer this Q in a scientific way.

If I say there isn't much difference between 'people' who are torturing and people who are undergoing this 'torture'? Both are made of similar atoms and energy borrowed from this universe. The only difference is the working difference of brain cells that form different circuits.

Imagine this situation:

One group of atoms in one form (predator) eating another groups of atoms (prey)? If predator feels happy and satiated the prey feels the fear and pain of getting eaten. This is because the brain cells have formed different circuits and these help in processing the information they obtain from their senses during a particular situation they encounter.

But there is universal oneness that you realize with higher awakening.

This universe doesn't care which form of atoms is doing what! Both the one that is 'torturing' and the one that is getting 'tortured' are similar. The one that eats the prey gets the atoms and energy from the prey and that group of atoms and energy from prey attain predator status then! When these get aligned with predator, they hunt for another 'prey' which becomes 'predator' again. Then what (group of atoms) is prey and what (group) is predator? When these group of atoms and energy are becoming both prey and predator interchanging places in the game of hunting?

One group of atoms arranged in a particular form is 'hurting' another form?

Other neurons (made of molecules and atoms) arranged in a particular form and a brain made of these neurons wired in a different way undergoing some feelings 'feel tortured'?

In front of other groups of atoms and energy arranged in separate forms?

It matters only if you think 'in front of these differently arranged atoms' makes any difference.

It is important only if you think these things have any significance and can affect you radically.

It bothers you only if you think the people who are saying things are equal to you with regard to your enlightenment process and can differentiate between culturally conditioned good manners and bad manners. An enlightened person will not do such things anyway.

If these forms 'who torture' are in a very pitiable condition and cannot even think that atoms and molecules arranged in the form of neurons and glia can give birth to emotions that can give pain and agony in certain conditions because of the brain circuits formed in a particular way, it is these forms who are in need of different circuits to correct themselves.

I feel sorry for these forms who wasted their lives despite getting the opportunity to get enlightened and squandering that opportunity that one gets in one's lifetime.

Apart from this thinking I don't feel anything. Even if I 'feel' for a brief period, I can overcome these feelings with my critical thinking.

Sometimes I try to bring these forms to my level of enlightenment. If they don't bother, it is their headache.

My definitions of pain and agony are different. My analyses of situations are different.

When you are wandering at a higher realm, these things are not 'good enough' to make any difference to you.

But they do bother others in their realms. That is why we try to change their - this word means both the ones who are torturing and the one who is feeling it - brain circuits to make them work "correctly".
