What happens when enlightenment occurs?

outcome
"Enlightenment is not a gradual process; it is a sudden birth of the light that has always been within you, emerging effortlessly when fear is released."
According to Osho, enlightenment happens in a single, discontinuous instant—there are no degrees. One moment you are wholly unenlightened; the next, wholly enlightened. It is not attained from outside; it is a birth of what is already within. Preparation only strengthens courage to drop fear. When fear relaxes, the inner light emerges effortlessly, like childbirth.
It comes all at once when you stop being scared and loosen up—like letting a baby that’s ready be born.
