BUDDHA : The ultimate stage of consciousness

The meaning : 

When we talk of  'BUDDHA', literary meaning may be something near to Wisdom.But it is not exactly the wisdom, as we define. Some may say "enlightened' and to me that is nearest word. It does not necessarily mean Buddha is a person, a physical entity, but in broader sense it denotes much more than that. Let us try to analyse this :

The worldly body comprises mainly five properties.viz. Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Ether. In general sense Ether is emptiness of sky above, but in absolute term 'Ether' may mean a certain state of affairs i.e openness of the sky above. In Veda it said " हिरण्यगर्भ" That does not define gold container etc, but it states the greatness/blissfulness of universe.

 Now, our body also contains all these properties in seven stages Each stage contains each property ( air, water etc)from lower stage to upper. Our consciousness moves from one stage to other like a serpent from lower portion of our body and stage by stage it moves upward.  For ordinary human , this starts from lowest state and generally end up in third stage. But, those who search for wisdom and more,they try to go beyond and very few reach at the highest stage. These stages are  spelt clearly in all religious faith.

सहस्रार ( The highest stage)

Here the consciousness moves to the top of our sense and one will find BLISS. There is total connectivity with all senses and wisdom and as such there is no duality.He who attains that stage will feel Blissful everywhere and find no difference in living being and non living being.This stage he will feel 'ENLIGHTENED' and that is called "BUDDHAATWA" This stage is stage of silence, complete silence.Thus when someone attains wisdom he/she becomes silent.

The chant :

ॐ मणिपद्मे होम ! 

 This holy chant  only states the presence of eternity, the blissfulness of this great universe. It is exactly not the lotus but  the presence of certain state, the feeling of that state of affairs in consciousness. So, what Rigveda says 'हिरण्यो गर्भास्थो भगबान: or God is in a certain state, the chanting of  ॐ मणिपद्मे होम defines the eternal prayer of human entity, the quest for wisdom , the thrust for ultimate connectivity with eternity, where the all properties of senses gracefully coexists. 

The Salvation :(Teaching of Tripitaka in brief)

 The consciousness of mind follow those stages gradually and search for purification of senses. Human entity crosses this purgatory through an ordeal of 'COMPUNCTION' and followed by 'PURIFICATION' and attaining 'SALVATION' and thus finally reaching 'ATONEMENT'. Atonement actually means AT -ONE-MENT. Which defines the single entity that is GOD IS ONE  and no duality. This is brief teaching of Lord Buddha !
