No need to preach to the choir, find a lost brother or sister
I'm adding context to something very hard to extrapolate.
Language is a great barrier as you mentioned. A useful tool in every other regard but none the less a barrier and in some cases a weapon when used maleficently.
When my family asks me about "realization" and "enlightenment" I have to explain that it can only be experienced by YOU/YOURSELF. There are no words in the English dictionary that can explain the "feeling" and the "experience".
If you ever here someone say "I am a realized being" or "I am enlightened" they are lying. When you shed your ego and drop the name given to you at birth and only dwell on God and give all of your energy and being to God you become that.
This is why in Hinduism people chant the name of a "God" all day every day because they don't believe they are different or separate. My guru gave me two names to chant OM Sri Ramakrishna and OM Jesus Christ. If you go about your working day and only chant this and this alone you will become "one" with God. It allows you to go through an otherwise mundane existence knowing that you are God and that you are experiencing this reality "consciousness" through that.
