Buddha's simple definition of enlightenment as “the end of suffering.”

Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally

Even if the voice is relevant to the situation at hand, it will interpret it in terms of the past

To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important.

Enlightenment means rising above thought

Don't judge or analyze what you observe. Watch the thought, feel the emotion, observe the reaction. Dont make a personal problem out of them

Identification with the mind gives it more energy;, observation of the mind withdraws energy from it

Usually, the future is a replica of the past. Superficial changes are possible, but real transformation is rare and depends upon whether you can become present enough to dissolve the past by accessing the power of the Now

Through self-observation, more presence comes into your life automatically

Make it your practice to withdraw attention from past and future whenever they are not needed. Step out of the time dimension as much as possible in everyday life
