| An-Yi: | Do you think some people are actually "englightened?" |
| Bhäraté: | Perhaps all of us are "enlightened" in some ways and blind in others. |
| An-Yi: | No – what I mean is, "Do fully enlightened humans exist?" |
| Chariya: | (laughing) It would be the height of folly to claim enlightenment: God alone is great. |
| Daiki: | I used to believe that enlightenment was actually a "higher" state of consciousness. Now I'm more inclined to think of it as a sociological construct. If any group of followers idolizes any given person, that person may appear as "englightened" in their eyes. Enlightenment is mostly a question of sociological positioning. |
| An-Yi: | Makes sense to me. Moreover, one person's master seems like another person's laughing stock. In order for some persons to seem "enlightened," perhaps others must be seen as ordinary, sinful, or ignorant. Can any quality exist without its opposite? |
| Bhäraté: | (frowning) Hmm. Discussions like this are a waste of time. Besides, what does this have to do with Master Fen? |
