As has been mentioned, no mind ever becomes Enlightened. An event occurs in which the focus of Consciousness that is the silent witness removes the overlay of identification with the vehicle of perception, and the vehicle caries on much as before in most cases. No individual can claim to be Enlightened. Enlightenment is the absence of identification with the individual.
Having said that, it does happen that two individuals through whom Enlightenment has occurred, will meet. There is no reason for either to be particularly interested in this meeting, although there typically seems to be an instant recognition. It's likely that the most desirable interaction would be silence.

this is quite an interesting question. the answer is just as intriguing. i have not read the bible nor am i one of the faithful, but i am not against the concept of a god; just not the one religion portrays. so if i stray away from the knowledge in the bible do not take this as a attempt to sway your mind. with that said, my short answer is yes. it is possible for another to trigger enlightenment in a different person. but this however is a deceptive statement. one can only change or learn if one is open to such experience, thus in the end, it is the one changing that ultimately caused or triggered the shift. therefore, at best jesus could have been the inspiration for their "understanding" but they themselves were the ones who chose to allow the change to occur. i'm am not talking about metaphysical experiences, just alterations of perception. the reason behind this is because in a reality where the metaphysical is possible anything is basically possible and thus there are no rules or boundaries, and so there is no control. the one thing to remember is this, all we are is self, everything else is just background; for without self life does not exist. in life we give everything meaning and take meaning away from experiences as well. unfortunately most people give meaning to that which should not be treasured as such thus the reign of misery in the human race, or generally speaking, the human condition. the most inmportant aspect to remember is self, and that there is no absolute value for self, thus you are not obligated to be anyone but who you decide to be. this is the one absolute value in life. "Many believe one must 'walk the path alone', through meditation, reflection and contemplation, but is there a way for a teacher to induce a direct experience?" yes and no. it is possible for a person to affect another without a change occuring, but the teacher would have to project exactly what the student would need to based on what the student wants to experience. to be honest however, it is not that the enlightened path must be walked alone, it is actually that because self is all that matters any other input is irrelevant thus solitude is just logical. but whether there is people with the person or not is irrelevant. plus meditation and reflection are simply contemplation and contemplation is just imagination. thus the true message is to be able to calculate the variables and accomodate for anything so that in the end you are who you desire to be regardless of the experiences. in life we are not the rock that gets weathered by the river but rather the river that takes the minerals of rock with us as we pass by. as it should be, the river actually never changes just because there is different substances in it, it is still h2o. this is similar to the mind, just because we have memories and can be effected by them doesn't mean they should. self is all that could ever matter and self is will and desire. sorry for such a long answer. i could talk all day about self and the possibilities.

It has been said: "One who thinks he is enlightened probably isn't"
It's like: "Whoever thinks he is humble, is not."
Two people talking, are two people talking.
Who is to say that an enlightened mind has anything to say to another enlightened mind. They are enlightened. With humility as their guide, it would have to be felt, not shared. One does not profess to be at the place of All knowing/Not All knowing once said. he is not there. Ego, pride self-indulgence etc takes over, no more enlightenment.
Namaste
Peace and Love
P.S.
“If you spent one-tenth of the time you devoted to distractions like chasing women or making money to spiritual practice, you would be enlightened in a few years!”

I am a bit skeptical of the term "enlightened" applying to a mortal being. Sure, we all have a measure of truth, but if one is to apply the term "enlightened" to oneself, it would probably come with a good deal of pride, which of course leads to an inability to learn, which of course leads to ignorance.
So, if two truly enlightened people met, they would probably kiss, hug and feel very happy and peaceful.

This happen to me last night so I know the answer!
We discussed his upcoming marriage. Arranged a time for him to stop by so we could teach him a praise dance he wants to do with his bride at his marraige. Talked about some of the growth (spirtual and physical) each of our congregations have had and praised Yah for it. Discussed some of the issues both our congregations are facing and prayed about it. Talked about upcoming Feast days and what topics we would like to present at them. Talked about him relocating further north so he could attend with us.
I guess we sound just like normal people hmm?

They converse about the unlimited Names Forms, Qualities and Pastimes of The Supreme Lord. (According to Bhagavad Gita As it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada) They feel ecstatic and overjoyed in one anothers association being they keep bringing one another to deeper and deeper realizations. Being God is unlimited so are our realizations. Peace to you spirit soul. Info on Gita- harekrishnatemple.co I love it.

I'm going to go with "they have a good laugh over their past delusions and meditate upon how they can relieve the suffering of countless sentient beings throughout space and time."

The Light of the " universe " shines even brighter as the lights of the two have blended more closely...That combined light beams so beautifully . . . it brings a " smile " to the stars. And..." what do they do ?" . . .There will be a precious knowingness and they'll embrace and shine with joy.

discuss how they got there?
or if in a mood where they don't feel like feeling enlightened, gripe about the people who don't understand them?
