Sometime right around now, I will have been enlightened for 20 years.

I was trained to see it as "gives a fuck" or "doesn't give a fuck" - pretty binary. I talked to a Buddhist a while back. We talked State. They said to me "that's just BARELY enlightement!" and oh how I laughed. It was a beautiful moment. :-)
cheers.
Do the nath sampradaya consider enlightenment binary, or do yogis consider each others’ realisation to be stratified?
Any big shifts in that enlightenment over the past two decades?
Do you still need/like to meditate?Haha, ok. Thanks. Reminds me of a story from zen where some dude has a breakthrough, teacher tells him he isn’t a master yet, student laughs and says he doesn’t want to be a master anyway, master laughs and says he went deeper than he suspected.

Someone asked, "what is the true nature of mind?" The Master replied, "officially even a needle cannot enter; unofficially you can drive a horse and cart through." http://www.abuddhistlibrary.com/Buddhism/C%20-%20Zen/Ancestors/The%20Zen%20Teachings%20of%20Master%20Lin-Chi/Zen%20Teachings%20of%20Master%20Lin-Chi.htm …
