Intelligent question(;-) The knower of the secret of the universe becomes enlightened and goes to the kingdom of god... never to return ever!
In the present life the entity enlightened beings is normally referred to those who have enlightened themselves in the field of poetry, art, mysticism, Spirituality and any other facet of life which is creative and constructive in nature.
You may often find people talking among themselves that so-and-so has given a very enlightening talk. They simply mean that the talk has been knowledgeable and invigorating. It has nothing to do with the word enlightened beings.
A truly enlightened being is one who has placed himself on the highest pedestal of life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation beyond which life itself ceases to exist. This is the stage when our atman soul within us reaches the end of its journey. Having come back to its pristine pure form... our soul atman having become pure... the cause for any manifestation to occur having ceased... this soul has gained enlightenment and the individual is termed as an enlightened being.
Amongst the category of enlightened beings... the first to come was Lord Krishna who is treated as an avatar (manifest God himself) and not as a man God like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed... all of whom were enlightened beings!
Life is worth living for we have had enlightened beings amongst us! It is the wisdom passed on to us by enlightened beings in the form of sacred scriptures that humanity has survived for such a long time. Enlightened beings are truly an asset to the society at large.
In the last 150 years we have had only two enlightened beings... they were Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana. Both of these gentlemen gained enlightenment in the last reaches of their life. Having gained enlightenment they gave back to the society what they learnt while proceeding on the path of pure Spirituality.
Every journey of life... be it the form of an insect, animal or the form of a human being ends with one becoming enlightened at the fag end of the life. Having reached the stage of being born a human being... each and every individual must strive to join the faculty of the few enlightened beings who have already left the earthly abode.
For an enlightened being... no doubt it is the end of the earthly journey! Having gained enlightenment these gentlemen were not required to reincarnate again in a new body. One may desire or not but the 8.4 millionth manifestation results in one becoming enlightened at the end of the journey.
Reaching the status of enlightened beings is a really privileged one! It is only one or two in a century who gain enlightenment to finally liberate themselves forever from the unending cycle of life and death. These super human beings could not have been wrong. To remain subdued in the world full of sensual attachments and wanton desires can never be the ultimate goal of life!

Make gobs of money in the stock market, donating vast amounts of the resulting fortune to charities. And somewhere, setting aside enough for a nice house, a few cars, a new computer would be nice....
