Have you ever listened to a personal story told by a friend and tried to imagine yourself in their shoes, but found that you couldn’t since you just never had the experience they are referring to and it was simply too hard for you to comprehend? For instance, sailing the skies in a hot-air balloon, climbing Mount Everest, or eating a dish you never tasted…if you have never had any of those experiences, it might be very difficult to fully understand them.
So how can we know if someone is enlightened? Is it essential to be able to do so in order to move forward with our own spiritual quest? What is it that is being referred to as enlightenment?
Sadhguru answers a question about how one can recognize an enlightened being and what enlightenment means.
