Enlightened soul.....???

N was in town for this weekend and as usual we all went to our favourite mexican place for lunch...and we were talking about religion , philosophy and spirituality..one of those days when u r in mood for the deep stuff and after the last week..i was in a very deep, dark mood..
we started talking about what is the significance of religion..the topic shifted to the fundamental principles of "sanadhana dharma" and what makes u a "Enlightened soul"...My roomie S feels that discipline and strict following of her religious scriptures will ultimately lead u to become a realised soul..or the least a spiritual person..
somehow i feel that religion is not all about discipline and scriptures..they are like guiding light and more "enlightened" a person is less will they be bound to the scriptures and more free will be their thoughts...and best way is to experience life and to understand it in all its vibrant colours, smell, taste and texture....
so wat do u guys out there think.....how would u define an enlightened soul???

An enlightened soul is defined thus..


"Always agree to their view points, and never refute them" :-D

But, I guess you are actually meaning to say about religious beliefs rather than relegion in itself..

If thts the case, thts an whole argument in itself..:)
