Does All Enlightenmented People Knows Each Other?

[Parki]

When I get to a new place where I encounter new people like getting a job,
I naturally want to get to know each other of them, but I don't do that because we have different mindsets and values etc - picture of what world is.

So from my position it looks like if I become enlightenmented, one of thing I will or at least try to do is get to know other enlightenmented people.
Why?
Because it's all better to be together and the only reason why all of us are not is the ego, so it looks like if we get rid of ego we would know each other.

If they don't know each other, then why?

It is reported of one Mohammedan saint, Farid, that he was passing near Benares (In India) where another saint Kabir lived. Followers of Farid said, "It would be just wonderful if you and Kabir met. For us it would be a blessing."

The same thing happened to Kabir and his followers. They heard that Farid was passing, so they said to Kabir that it would be good if he would ask Farid to stay a few days in the ashram.

Farid's disciples said, "You both talking would be a great opportunity for us, we would like to hear what two enlightened persons say to each other."

Farid laughed when they said this and replied, "There will be a meeting, but I don't think there is going to be any talking. But let us see."

Farid came; Kabir received him. They laughed and embraced each other. Then they sat in silence. Two days Farid was there, and for many hours they sat together, with the disciples restless, waiting for them to say something, utter something. But not a single word was communicated.

The third day Farid left and Kabir came to see him off. They again laughed, embraced each other, parted.

The moment they parted Farid's disciples gathered around him and said, "What nonsense! What wastage of time. We were hoping that something was going to happen. Nothing happened. Why did you suddenly become so dumb? You talk so much to us."

Farid replied, "All that I know, he knows also. Nothing is to be said. I looked into his eyes, and he is there, where I am. Whatsoever he has seen I have seen; whatsoever he has realized I have realized. There is nothing to be said."

Two enlightened persons cannot talk because they know the same. Nothing is to be said. Only one enlightened person and one unenlightened person can have a meaningful communication, because one knows and the other is yet in ignorance.

Parki, think about it. They are just ordinary people with some experiences of the no-self (and some mystical experiences). They learned of some wisdom. Not everyone will come to know each other, but some do and become friends. (Of course, acceptance has to be there to be friends.)

They  all communicate telepathically, even the "dead" ones!

Im only partially joking.

well.. in a sense...
I mean, they know themselves, don't they?

also, it appears some enlightened people can recognize when they see another enlightened person

At an existential level? Yes, because we are all the same ordinary, unborn, eternal awareness. There is only one Self. But the vast majority of Jiva are ignorant of this. 

Enlightenment does not mean getting rid of the ego. It is the removal of ignorance.
