What happens when one is enlightened?

"Enlightenment does not erase you; it allows your individuality to blossom, reflecting the light of truth in your own unique way."
According to Osho, enlightenment does not erase the person; it lets individuality flower. The light and truth are one, but each awakened being reflects and expresses it uniquely—like one moon mirrored by sea, river, or still pond. Buddha sits silent; Meera dances; Mahavir goes naked. After awakening you simply function as your own irreducible way.
Waking up doesn’t make everyone the same; it makes you fully yourself, shining the same truth in your own style.
