Enlightenment is attained by overcoming ignorance and realizing the truth. When we realize that everything in this world is a cosmic illusion, it's not real, it's like a dream, this realization leads us to overcoming our ignorance. It leads us to enlightenment. It leads us to Mukti in Hinduism, which is liberation when alive. A person who is enlightened that they are not the body, mind and ego, is liberated from the triple suffering - pain of the body, misery of the mind, agony of the ego. At death, this liberated Soul does not take rebirth, because they realize we are not the body and mind, we are the Divine Soul. Such a person who is enlightened in Hinduism attains a state of Moksha, of liberation and unification with the Divine.

Ancient day Hinduism, known as Sanatana Dharma, gives the right way to enlightenment. It is called Mukti when alive and Moksha at death. Mukti means being liberated from the body-mind and ego when we are alive. It happens by overcoming ignorance or Maya and realizing the Truth. We realize the Truth that we are not the body that dies, we are not the mind that we cannot find, we are the Divine Soul, we are pure Divine energy. This is realization or enlightenment. It switches on the light within to realize who we are, we experience God all the time, we experience Divinity in all beauty. This ultimately leads to Moksha or Liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth. This is the ultimate goal of ancient Hinduism, just as it is the goal of Buddhist Nirvana or the western concept of Salvation.
