Who is enlightened?

Does not seek praise and applaud
Has no superiority complex. Is not supercilious.

He is not afraid of anyone or anything
Not in competition with anyone
Who is not enlightened?
Who thinks that others are inferior to him
He thinks that he is the best and knows everything
He feels that he is the chosen one or he is almost God
An Enlighted person does not need to say that he has attained enlightenment. People notice it.
I believe that once awakening happens, it is forever. Why will an awakened person go back to the earlier state?
The Enlighted person is still in this world but the person who attains Moksh or Nirvan is in a different realm.
I believe the continuum is-Good person-> Meditation-> Enlightenment> Moksh or Nirvan.
No one knows who attained Moksha as the person never comes back to tell us. Once someone attains Moksha, he/she is gone from this world.
