Well, he's dead now. So he isn't enlightened anymore. I equate the term "total
man" with "enlightened master" because the two terms seem to me to describe
identical beings. I put Mohammed in the same category with Buddha, Moses, Lao
Tzu, Christ, Krishna, Socrates, and Kabir because all these were fully awakened
beyond words. So, why did you single out Mohammed from the others?
