everyone goes through reality learning from it, sieving from the objective and subjective, but not everyone will come to enlightenment in the same way, or even at the same point in time, let alone in space.
so how can this be understood if it isn't base on a physical maturity? wouldn't it have to be based on some psychological maturity, and even then this may not even be realized by all because it seems to be more of a subjective realization than an observable and measurable state?
could you look at someone and say, "Hey they are enlightened." ? how could it ever be that someone is enlightened? self-realized? what are the parameters of knowing the state of happiness in someone?
how can someone know when someone else loves?
