Does becoming fully conscious make it difficult to connect with others who are not that conscious?
So, is it possible to be fully conscious and are there some disadvantages of being fully conscious? Say if other people are not so conscious. Yeah, I would say that yes.
When we talk about being fully conscious, it also means being conscious of the level that people are at. So, say if everyone's consciousness is here and our consciousness is elevated, that elevation is not just, it doesn't mean we become disconnected from this level. Rather we become aware of more things.
It's not, let's say, if there is a person on the ground and there is a person in the helicopter. That person in the helicopter is not on the ground. But when our consciousness becomes elevated, it is, we are aware of physical reality.
We are aware of mental reality. But we are also aware of something more. We are aware of spiritual reality.
So, we can understand what level people are at. Just to give a simple example, say, you know four languages and you learn a fifth language. Now, you see someone else who doesn't know that fifth language.
So, you know more than that person. When you are going to talk with that person, you are not going to talk in that fifth language. You will talk in the language which they understand.
So, similarly, when we become spiritually conscious, that doesn't mean we become materially unconscious. We are materially conscious, but our consciousness is not limited to material things. So, we can connect with others at the level they are at.
And we can become agents if they are receptive to elevating their consciousness upwards. So, it's, the disadvantage could be if we disconnect from ordinary consciousness. The idea of spiritual consciousness is adding to our present consciousness.
It is not rejecting our present consciousness. So, we may have a career, we may have a family, we may have friends and we bring spirituality into all of these. It's not that we reject all of them.
So, that's why if we have proper guidance and proper understanding of what spirituality is, then we can be with all kinds of people and we will be able to connect with them as is necessary.
