How long does it take to acheive satori?

[bibek678]

I was wondering how much does it take? Jesus died 32-33 and it says it can take up to 30 year to aceive satori? Can some please give me definite answer I really need it??

Satori happens out of the blue. There is no time horizon. It may never happen. The more you do Self-Inquiry the bigger the chance.

@bibek678 live in darkness and silence at least 3 years. Just go out when it is necessary. Dont do anything. Thats the shortcut. Otherwise it will take decades. 

[Leo Gura]

It is not a matter of time.

It can vary from 1 day to 100 years.

[Carl-Richard]

It's instantaneous

Allow the change of the interpretation, how it’s being  framed up. Needing answers / believing thoughts is the very condition which veils the true satori nature of being.

@bibek678 As i meditate more and more i just realised i had a few of these experiences even when i was in childhood. Its possible you had these and you dont even know that.

It can happen in 3 days or 20 years.  All depends on your own life experience and baseline level of consciousness, intuition, how spirituality gifted you are and your levels of suffering.

Also if you are asking the question and are looking at it as achievement be careful - the ego can seize that for itself and you will never reach it.  You can't have a time-frame in the back of your mind.  When you meditate you have to be completely present and collapse all thought - there is no time.

I think a flexible attitude to your path is a help. If you're not making progress, start to question if you need to make changes to techniques, even maybe a radical change. 

You want satori - suggests a Zen path? Some people stay in the same practice for years and decades making little progress. Taking responsibility yourself rather than offloading to a teacher helps, imo.

Just relax.

When conditions are favorable it will spontaneously manifest in its prefect timing.
