One could simply ask, that if no-self, no attachment, and impermanence prevail then what is it that becomes enlightened?
hello Bothi

the citta (which your yoga system is seeking to destroy) becomes enlightened

for a fully enlightened arahant, the enlightenment of citta is permanent (i.e., until that citta ends)

as previously advised, before his enlightenment, the Buddha tried to practise "no mind"

but later, his mind was enlightened via wisdom-insight, by perceiving or seeing clearly the true nature of all things

kind regards


Then, friend Yamaka, how would you answer if you are thus asked: A monk, a worthy one, with no more mental effluents: what is he on the break-up of the body, after death?

Thus asked, I would answer, 'Form is inconstant... Feeling... Perception... Fabrications... Consciousness is inconstant. That which is inconstant is unsatisfactory. That which is unsatisfactory has ceased and gone to its end.

Very good, my friend Yamaka. Very good

Yamaka Sutta
