Enlighten the mind means: 'bring light to the mind', bring the mind to silence in transcendental consciousness. Enlighten the heart means to 'bring light(attention) to the heart. When the mind has quieted and the heart is felt, then you can make your own decisions, based on a clear mind(quite mind), and clear heart (attunement to your soul); Therefore at some point, the Guru is You. The Guru points the way, and if you follow; You find it for yourself, inside of you; "The Kingdom of Heaven is Within", Jesus said. In your own soul; in the illunination of the silent mind and soulful heart. Therein lies your enlightenment, from inside yourself; No longer on an outside force, whether it be Guru, TV, sex, or money or whatever, other, false god of the ego. Enlightenment is an "Inside Job".
