    Knowledge helps you reach there, but it is not a knowledge, It's like tendencies, which continues from one life to another like karma. These tendencies helps you neutralize your karma. You are on a path with these tendencies. When you reach the destination, your karma gets neutral, and you get moksha, freed from the cycle of life & death. 🙏

    Experience is within time and hence NOT enlightenment. The issue is ignorance which is cleared with knowledge. This enlightenment is 'pRathyabhinja', re-cognition of the TRUTH that you were, are, and ever will be BRAHMAN. Rest everything is nothing but a chimera, which is experience. So the right way to understand vedantha is to DROP looking for moksha, experience etc and instead learn the prasthanathrayam from a Guru who is both a shrotriya and brahmanishta.
