What does it mean to be enlightened?
To each his own, my friend. There are many roads on the path to enlightenment. Through the thousands of years of man's existence there have been many traditional ways to attain enlightenment, meditation is the big one, prayer may be parallel. Most often enlightenment is referred to as meaning to be aware of your eternal connection to the universe. That's the part that can be subjective, shared in variation by all the major religions; Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. You can take an atheistic or scientific approach as well (my personal favorite); the matter and energy within your body has been here since the Big Bang. M-theory, I thought was really cool. But you will find that we are connected with this universe in more ways than what is obvious. That understanding and subsequent separation from the binds of the material world will lead you closer to your own enlightenment. Pleasant journeys.
