 “'If for no other reason save this: whatever he said came true. His words of prophecy have all been fulfilled,'” is how a chief disciple of one of India’s most revered gurus, Shri Ramakrishna, justified his faith in him.” ---from The Illusion of Will, Self, and Time: William James's Reluctant Guide to Enlightenment

 
                                  

     "As matter of fact, I did encounter one when I was 23 years old," replied Yang Jwing-Ming when asked 'Have you met anyone that you believe was enlightened?'. "When five friends and I climbed Taiwan's Central Mountain Range and finally reached one of the heights, Tianzxiang (天祥). We were sleeping in a government lodging facility, six people in a tiny bed. Due to the poor sleeping conditions, I woke up in the early morning and stepped out for some fresh air. I could hear a gong sounding repeatedly in the deeper part of the mountains. Out of curiosity I walked toward the sound, following an existing path. After 20 minutes or so, I saw a small temple with a gazebo in the woods. When I walked closer to the gazebo, I realized that there was an old monk meditating in it. While I was hesitating, wondering if I should get closer since it might disturb the monk's meditation, the monk opened his eyes and looked at me.
     I went forward and bowed to him. He looked at me and told me about my family background, my thinking, and even my future plans. He simply read my mind. What he said was so accurate, it shocked me greatly. He had the capability of telepathy. After five minutes, he closed his eyes again, and that meant it was time for me to leave. I cannot forget this experience. In just five minutes, it provided me enough to think about for a lifetime. I don't know if he had opened his third eye and was enlightened, but his capability of reading my mind was a shock and amazed me greatly."   https://ymaa.com/articles/2022/05/dr-yang-jwing-ming-changing-times-and-enlightenment
