According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy.

And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.
I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur.

My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.

And I know they are neither wholly animal nor holy man, but an unstable combination of both.
I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel.
Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.

I built my soul a lordly pleasure-house, Wherein at ease for aye to dwell.
Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.
