Definitive signs you are not enlightened!

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.

Comes from this site -

Wishing you all the best!

I wrote that because it's one of my weaknesses.

That's cool - no explanations needed - we're all friends here!

I'm enlightened enough to accept your flaws without judging you in any way.

Boy! I really must be close to being enlightened!

Wishing you all the very best.

:)
