Thanks for sharing. A couple of quotes spring to mind:

"The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao. The name that can be names is not the eternal name."—Dao De Jing


It will be impossible to do a concept like "enlightenment" justice with language alone. Not that it isn't helpful to point in the vague direction of this mode of being, but its unspeakable nature mustn't be ignored.

"Enlightenment is the ego's biggest disappointment."—Alistar Valadez

Often, when we talk about enlightenment, despite our best intentions, we can't help but frame it in egoic terms. It is only via example, and not through language, that enlightenment can come close to being understood by laypeople.

Thanks again for sharing!
