Enlightenment is a connection with the universal spirit, realizing that you are part of it. Living in unconditional love without any effort. Being like an open book, being natural. All these qualities are there in every individual, it only needs a little nurturing and its starts blossoming. So when you walk, walk like you are enlightened, you are open, you are like a child, and you are free - emotionally, mentally and intellectually. Enjoy the freedom. When you don't have any craving and aversions of your own, then you can give yourself a certificate that are enlightened.
