I don't believe there are any truly enlightened people in the world. If they were, they would find a way to pass on the good news. Isn't that what enlightenment is all about? To bring us wisdom, joy and meaning. I'm sorry, but it hasn't happened yet.

With everyone else in the world trying to stand out, it's probably very difficult to notice them. The few that are famous are only famous because people have found them and questioned them endlessly (I'm thinking of Tolle here).
Do you guys agree with me? How many enlightened people do you think are alive today? A few hundred, a thousand, more? I'm curious as to people's estimates on this.
