Enlightenment is a super conscious divine state of mind with a clear vision of dichotomy of body and ATMA (SELF) free from materialistic cobwebs,worldly possessions and attachments. It is considered to be the rarest of the rare achievement. But it is no achievement. It is everybody's natural possession. It is not something that comes from outside. It is an integral part of the self. But somehow this SELF gets occluded during the journey through this universe. and the result is that one goes astray.The two guides and path finders of the JEEVATMA , intelligence and logic not only prove helpless but also further complicate the issue , which is worsened by numerous shades of emotions. resulting in misplacement and mis-identification of the SELF. In other words we can say that ATMA(SELF) , the inseparable and and intrinsic component of JEEVATMA is submerged by the overwhelming thought of JEEV (BODY} consciousness only and one continues to move incognito in this world.This state can be called slumber or ignorance that can and does last life- time in most cases.The life of such a person can be compared to the act of sleep walking and the sleep walker never knows what he is doing. The awakening from this slumber is called enlightenment.
