Why is enlightenment called enlightenment?

Words hardly matter. By using Words, we only confuse ourselves. We must understand that when we get spiritually awakened, it means we will become aware of the spirit. Yes, enlightenment is just like that – it is being enlightened. Now whether we are fully awakened, fully enlightened, whether we have realized the truth, whether we are liberated – that depends from case to case. Our goal is not to get carried away with Words. Our goal is to work towards Realization of the Truth.
