The Murderer Who Reached Enlightenment

Enlightenment is a personal understanding of self. There are as many ways to be enlightened as there are areas of enlightenment. No two people share identical understanding of enlightenment nor is one's understanding of enlightenment greater than another's understanding of enlightenment.
Enlightenment is love
 
i would suppose that one would have to kill to reach enlightenment otherwise a crucial piece of the puzzle is missing (something about life/death being real or not? ). but as said one would optimally define enlightenment in order to carry on any appropriate conversation on such matters.
i also would add that we are all enlightened but have had to hide it for so long that it has become out natural state to bow down to "demons" and the like. things are so twisted imo idk anymore about anything cept my own abilities and limits
 
He killed with sorcery, if I recall correctly. (Haven't watched the video but I've bookmarked it.)

He then pursued karmic purification because he felt extreme guilt.

The guilt points to pure consciousness because the enlightened state would not want or need to kill anyone. The desire to kill is an obfuscation to what is real. It's sort like how... hate and distrust is painful, but love and compassion is natural. Hate hurts because it is a distortion of what is real. It is an extreme attachment to "the other" when really there is no other, so it amplifies the most painful aspects of Maya.

I have always found the "karmic purification" aspect really interesting. Not sure I buy it, but it's interesting.

Pretty much, yes. His story stands as a testament to the ability to correct oneself. I find it very motivating.
Part of why his story has survived so long is because of that. If it was easy to do, he wouldn't be revered as he was.
Even sans karmic retribution, it is not easy to balance oneself experiencing the level of experiences which drives one to murder.
Madness is, exceedingly difficult to reel in and shape back to sensibility and rationality.
But that challenge is why people turn their lives to that path, to learn how to better control their own mental states.
