Enlightenment is an unfortunate turn of phrase to describe an uncomplicated state of affairs.
Most people live in a state of near constant attachment from one phenomenon to another.
One thought to another, one worry to another, one feeling to another, one object to another.
An uncomplicated state of affairs is in which you stay as you are despite the churning of objects.
You know yourself as you are amidst this changing phenomenon, stable and peaceful.
You only see yourself as awareness of the changing phenomenon, awareness always stays as it is.
It is not changed by the every varying phenomenon.
To create gurus and reverential figures out of those that see this simple fact is highly unfortunate, but perhaps unavoidable due to deep conditioning in us of high vs low, better vs worse.
This deep conditioning operating day in day out causes mind to look in terms of good vs bad, heros vs common folk, rich and poor, enlightened and non-enlightened.
Buddha on his high pedestal vs us mere humans who can never be so great.
