Greetings everybody
Hope you are all well!
Here's a timely (for me anyway) article about how-to-know if you are enlightened or not.
Simple tip - most of us aint even close
You know more about enlightenment than an average Zen master
Having read all the literature, traditional or modern, all religious texts, Sutras, Vedas, Viking Sagas, whatnot; memorizing all you’ve read, learning mantras by heart … this can all turn you into a great walking encyclopaedia. If you ask such a person anything about enlightenment, they will surely have a ready answer. Does knowing all about it grant they are enlightened? Not much more than knowing all about blue whales would turn you into a blue whale yourself.
