Linking back my own post for clarity.
Enlightenment isn't detachment. Detachment to the pair of opposites is yet a stage and state of mind. Its called true non-dualism.
However, Enlightenment is much deeper than that.
You start from duality, reach non-dualistic peak of a mountain and eventually come back down to ground zero (duality again). On the way back down, there is tremendous suffering (all hidden unconscious is cleaned). On the way up the mountain, all attachments, beliefs and identities are broken. However, the fall is a fall from grace when the non-dualistic dream breaks and that's when the ego suffers the most as it has got no where to run or hide now. Not even in non-dualism.
Samadhi is good, nirvikalp Samadhi is climbing high, Sahaja Samadhi is moving swiftly up and down at will, but enlightenment is total fall from grace for the ego.
You start a human, you become spiritual and progress and you end up human again. Total ordinary, total normal just minus the suffering as now there is deeper understanding that "I cant be attached to life as I am not separate from it. Life is me. I am the body, a human, an animal, devoid of any psychological and instinctive self".
Body remains the only self, albeit an ever changing one. You become one with the flow of life.
If there is day, it is accepted, if it is night, that is also accepted.
Neither attached, nor detached, for my life and me are not two, but one.
Happiness is wholehartedly accepted, so is any swarrow or joy because it gets ingrained in the DNA that "this moment shall pass too".
I am not Buddha, not enlightened, not in some altered state of consciousness, not atman or Brahman. I am just an ordinary human without any belief or disbelief in God or anything metaphysical.
I am an ordinary human again (that, which I always was), not consciousness, not awareness, not Enlightened being or non-being.
I am a human, but I don't think about my self anymore. I just live. Do the same things that I used to do ignorantly like eating, sleeping, earning, working, dancing, playing etc.
That message sums it up "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water; after enlightenment, chop wood, carry water"
because it is finally realized that there was no "ego", no "mind", no "spirit", no "atman", no "brahman" and no "attainment" because it was all happening in a section of the brain. It was always the brain and it was trauma driven and the whole thing was for trauma resolution (years and years of suppressed emotions/hurt), plus it is learnt not to suppress any further.
Old is cleared, new suffering (suppression) is not formed, one does not suffer till death do us apart.
If you think it is anything else than this, then keep going and find out yourself.
However, detachment is just a stage not the end of spiritual journey.
