Enlightenment is a two-step process.
First, enlightenment is a choice. Enlightenment is not a sudden realization accompanied by some lightning and thunder after forty days of fasting prayer. The difficulties and hard training that I went through were because of ignorance and stupiditym not to be a model for the rest of the world to follow. The thunder and lightning are an expression of exasperation on the part of the Cosmic Mind to tell you that you are already enlightened. You just have live up to it. My true enlightenment was realizing that I had been enlightened all this time. Enlightenment is a simple choice that you make to live your life for the betterment and benefit of all those around you. The questionis, how do we know how to be beneficial to others? But the answer we already have! We all know how to be beneficial. We all know how to be loving and caring to others. We all have this inherent goodness in us. You cannot deny this. Enlightenment is just the choice to accept this goodness, your True Self and to actualize it through True Love. In concrete terms and actions, not just as an escapist emotional high that will soon disappear.
