The illuminated mind is no mind. It is clear, it is silent, it sees reality for what it is and things for what they are. A tree is a tree. A bird is a bird. A word is a word. Nothing else. What was said was said and what was done was done, there is no disturbance, no wishes for reality to be something else than it is. There is no wish for eternal life either and no spirituality.

It is not possible to disturb an illuminated mind, to create anguish, anger, irritation, fear, jealousy, or longing in it with words or actions. It is perfectly possible to physically hurt a person with an illuminated mind.

An illuminated mind is like that of an animal. When you rest, you rest. When you walk, you walk. When you eat, you eat. There is never rumination about the past or anxiety about the future, it holds no trauma, no pain, it always flows with the river of life.

It is the simplest possible mind. It cannot be made any simpler. It recognizes more complex minds by their expressed complexity, the same complexity which was self-created and ultimately self-destroyed.
