When one can step back just enough to watch, observe what is happening in the body, the mind, the emotions, the truth becomes obvious.
I, the conscious-being within can observe the comings and goings and changes in my body-mind-emotive-senses.
Changes come and go. I am constantly here.
When I can know, can understand, that all mind-thoughts are known to the inner-witness and that inner-witness is constant while the aches, pains, sadness, happiness, well-being and depression are time bound; well, for me, that is an enlightenment.
