Enlightenment is like sunrise, I felt within myself that in the morning, the sun rises, but the sun suddenly does not jump up to the top. It is pitch dark in the night, as if there is no hope of any light. That is the state of ignorance.
Nobody can imagine that there can be any such thing as light when it is pitch dark, like coal.
Later on what happens, slightly, the sky assumes a grey colour. Slowly it becomes grey color. After that, it becomes a little pinkish, then slightly whitish, and then you will see the great Man rising slowly in the east. Like that, is enlightenment. I was just now thinking about it in my mind.
