Enlightenment is the ability to give totally in every second. It's not about having some great experience. Such moments may occur, but they don't make an enlightened life.

When doing physical work—cleaning, painting, cooking—what does it mean to give totally? — Charlotte Joko Beck From Nothing Special Pg 272
