An enlightened person is different from normal people because normal people are blind, not visually blind, but spiritually blind. Just like a blind person cannot see anything, most people cannot see the Divine Spirit that is within. But an enlightened person is different because an enlightened person has switched on the light that is within. They realize that the temple of God is within, the kingdom of God is within, they realize that they are not this body that will die, they are not even the mind that makes them miserable. An enlightened person realizes that we are the Divine Soul, that we are nothing but energy, you and me are not different, we may appear to be two, just like two pieces of jewellery in a gold shop, but ultimately when the ornaments are melted, it all becomes gold. When you and me die, we become one, the one Spirit, and therefore, an enlightened person is enlightened with the truth, is liberated from all suffering, and at death the enlightened person is united with God.
