How would you describe a state of enlightenment?

It is literally the filling of the soul's heart with God's holy light (Nur), attached magnetically to the Word of Faith in its center. The lights come with our every repetition of whichever Holy Name we repeat (in whichever language is best for us), as in the Lord's Prayer: Hallowed be Thy Name See, all of God is Holy, for sure, but Its many Names are specifically used to beckon God to send Its Nur to our heart to help transmute our heart's 19 vices into their corresponding virtue, as everything in the universe is created in pairs, or within a polarity. We are not repeating any mantra or Holy Name of God for Its benefit, for It can gain nothing from a mote like ourselves, but the system, like all of creation, is created for our benefit. Zikr (repetition of any such Name) is the highest form of religious practice we human beings can perform, because it is the call part of the call-and-response that brings those Nurs to our heart, once we begin the journey to Faith. The journey to Faith begins with a heartfelt prayer to God to make you Its servant, instead of the selfish, ignorant person we are born as -- and we all are, I promise you, at least at the start, depending on our cultures, though not completely or wholly without virtue. The most effective such prayer is mentioned in the 1st Beatitude: Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven One can pray, "Lord, I beg You to take my Spirit back unto Yourself so that I may cleanse and purify my soul of its vices, replacing them with their corresponding virtue." That prayer -- or some other heartfelt beseeching of God for help to self-tranform -- embarks one upon the Path of Love, which guides one to their path and associated Teacher, who will be revealed in a dream. This process is called Hidayat in the Quran. It happened for outstanding poet, Prof. Coleman Barks, the most important translator and populariser of the poems of Rumi. I highly suggest finding his YouTube video titled, "Rumi and the Play of Poetry", where he recites both Rumi's and some of his own poems to musical accompaniment. Peace be with you. We love you. Love and seek the truth, and you will learn the importance of love, and creating happiness will be your joy and destiny.
