Yesterday I played some Chopin for Gregory. He began to get upset, then choked up, then cried. I decided that the tears were probably good for him. I asked, "Are you happy or sad?"
He replied, "I am everything. I am all of it."
Can't get more enlightened than that!

Enlightenment
If you speak of "achieving enlightenment, "you may think that you don't usually have enlightenment. If you say, "Enlightenment comes," you may wonder where it comes from. If you say, "I have become enlightened," you may suppose that enlightenment has a beginning."

"Tea and Rice" By Zen Master Dogen
I add so better to know that you are already enlightened, it comes from within, and it is an ongoing learning that never stops ... or better yet ... just don't talk about enlightenment, live it.
