The so-called enlightenment is not a path you walk or actions you take to get to, but to simply realize by direct experience that you are already enlightened, you are already there which is a state so described as “what is" in the now.
The more you think you need to do something, walk some paths to get there, the further you are making yourself away from where you wish to go.
Enlightenment can be very hard to attain until you realize and trust that there is actually nothing you need to do to attain it, for that which you are is already enlightened, you are just a veil away from realizing who you really are.
