Common Enlightenment Misconceptions

❌ "Enlightenment means no more problems"

True awakening doesn't eliminate life challenges but transforms your relationship to them. Problems become opportunities for deeper understanding.

✅ Enlightenment is about perspective shift

Awakening brings a fundamental shift in how you perceive and relate to experience, not an escape from human life.

❌ "You need to abandon normal life"

Authentic enlightenment integrates with rather than escapes from ordinary human experience. You can be awakened and fully engaged with life.

✅ Awakening enhances life engagement

True realization often leads to deeper appreciation, love, and engagement with life rather than withdrawal from it.
