The state of being in an awakened and conscious state is one of the forms of enlightenment.
Everyone is enlightened in their life many a time. People may or may not know the enlightenment occasions.
In the enlightened stage there exists unconditional love for everything. There is no attachment to anything during the enlightened stage. Very strong decisions are made after enlightenment.
Enlightenment is inside and it is once own experience. It is not easy to assess someone’s inside experience. It is an intangible and infinite experience of someone.
The beginning of impactful teachings or commendable work of someone defines the phase of enlightenment.
It is most often the self-declaration of a person or assessment by others based on their behaviour and talks, a person might have been declared enlightened.
The sermons given by an enlightened person may not make every other listening person enlightened.
The wavering human mind is an hindrance to be in an enlightened condition all the time.
