Regarding this notion of enlightenment, there are many preconceived notions around enlightenment—what an enlightened being is going to be like and act like. However, enlightenment is very much a physiological process, a physiological transformation. It doesn’t look like anything we could romanticize about because you are still you. You are still the same person you were. All of a sudden everything is completely different. The only thing is, it is all exactly the same. It’s that profound: completely different. But is that subtle: everything is the same.
