When the mind is at peace,
the world too is at peace.
Nothing real, nothing absent.
Not holding on to reality,
not getting stuck in the void,
you are neither holy or wise, just
an ordinary fellow who has completed his work.
– P'ang Yün (龐蘊 Hõ Un) (The Enlightened Heart 34)

This verse, by layman P’ang Yün, shows the peace of mind experienced through enlightenment, yet fully integrated into his daily life.

No difference. yet totally different.

The awakened one is still an ordinary fellow, who has simply completed his work.

Perfect, beautiful, and available to every single living breathing human being on earth.

What more could you wish for than this?
