The search
A small depiction of enlightenment.
Enlightenment comes to the ones that are willing to search for it. No one knows what being enlightened really means. Ask yourself now, are you enlightened and you will be pinned against two outcomes.
One is saying yes and following a deception and the other one is saying no, following a hopeless path afterwards if one decided to seek.
A funny but true thing is that enlightenment comes to those who seek but never ask the question. And it also comes to those who have seeked but have never found it.
It is not an object neither is it a thought or multiple thoughts. We search to find but at the end we only find ourselves searching.
What is
Simply put, enlightenment itself is being what you seek to be. It is everything and at the same time nothing. It comes in many forms and many shapes, all unseen to the human. eye. It is a way of a existence different to all who obtain it. There is only one way to reach it and that is simply following your heart and knowing you are on the path.
It isn't by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.
