What do this English folks mean by Awakening?

[Harikrishnan]

Let me explain a bit i have seen many people in this forum and outside like in Yt saying After they had awakening in 20's or etc. What do this people mean by that are they Enlightened or is it something else. I havent seen any serious Indian spiritual seekers saying this or even Leo.

They could mean they awakened to something, don't confuse it with non-dual enlightenment.

There are various kinds of awakenings. A breakthrough in a particular field also counts as an awakening.
