You have reached the beginning of IT. Who is "thinking" I must become enlightened? The self must be surrendered. What is this self any way? Have you found it's location or it's foundation?

If you knew all that I would say you have reached enlightenment, however I doubt that you are there now or you wouldn't be asking the question.

It seems to me that one most likely reaches enlightenment at the moment one no longer desires it.
May all be well.

Enlightened people usually aren't in the habit of bragging.

sure, you have reached a level of enlightenment, but it never ends - you will never reach COMPLETE enlightenment

Don't burden yourself with that nonsense.
Just do zazen, plain and simple.

If you see the Buddha on the road, kill him.
