Tom didn't say enlightenment became words, he said words became enlightenment through the discrimination of the intellect, "when the translucent intellect is as clear as the Self."
But, it's important to point out, that the translation Tom is using is extremely misleading. What the verse he quoted is referring to is known technically in the yoga-darshana of Patanjali as "viveka- khyati". While viveka-khyati IS an important stage (bhumi) on the Path of realization a la Patanjali, it is emphatically not final realization in that system.
He has perpetuated this falsehood numerous times on this list, despite this fact being brought to his attention.
