The common shared goal of all masters is enlightenment and the people with a higher level of understanding are referred to as enlightened. These people are believed to hold a certain amount of light and they have their consciousness raised to a higher level. This makes them capable of doing things others find difficult to perform.

Every person at birth is a truly enlightened being but as the age increases, the ego stops you from truly experiencing the intrinsic part of the nature.
