If being in the enlightened state is a normal state, then all you have to do is realize it. But, is this a physiological transformation or a mental transformation? If physiological, then what physical process do we employ in order to gain the realization of our own enlightenment? If mental, what thought could cause our mind to realize it's own full potential? The physiological path of realization would probably involve some physical type of yoga technique. But, a purely mental realization would require a simple 'turning about in the seat of concsciouness', by perhaps just entertaining a particular thought. But, the real question is, are we free or bound? If bound, by what means can we free ourselves? If free, there would be no need of a yoga anyway. Either way, you're only going to get as much enlightenment as you are going to get, so it may be useless to strive for it, at any rate. So, just Be - it's that simple.
