Ramana Maharshi authenticated the enlightenment of his devoted cow, Lakshmi.

He wasn’t just being nice to Lakshmi.

Her immense realization completely destroyed the limiting illusion of samsara.

The fact that she was a cow didn’t matter.

Our sense of superiority over even an ant is wildly inaccurate.

An ant can realize the Self as well as anyone.

And how do we know they’re not enlightened already?

There is really only one who isn't enlightened.

This is the one who seems to show up, the instant we think there's a problem.
