The word ‘enlightenment’ belongs to the path of meditation. The meditator says, “Enough is enough. Long have I suffered; now let me be free.” In fact, he cannot ask. He tries, but he cannot pray — because to the man on the path of meditation, even prayer is a bondage. Mahavir never prayed, Buddha never prayed. Prayer was meaningless for Buddha; he made all efforts to get out of it.
