Tattoo translation request

[NewPines]

I am having trouble post in the proper spot.I wanted to post this in the Translation section but could not find a way.

The phrase i need is:  Why am I enlightened?

This is a facetious question.  Obviously, if I must ask why, I must not be enlightened.  As, nobody is.  \

Get it?

I can get everything but a good Klingon word for 'ENLIGHTENED'.

Hmm, why do I get the feeling that this thread is a zen koan? :p

Anyhow, I'm guessing a direct translation will be impossible; could you ddfine enlightenment for us?

Some possibilities:
qatlh Hoch vISovchu'. { Why do I know everything perfectly? }
qatlh Hoch potlh vISov. { Why do I know everything that is important? }
vay' vISovbe'bogh tu'lu''a'. { Is there anything I don't know? }

[qurgh_]

Enlightenment in a religious sense carries a bunch of meanings for Humans. Here's a few of the big ones:

Closeness to god: qatlh Qun'a' vIcholchoH? - Why am I getting closer to God?

Internal peace: qatlh roj ghaj qa'wIj/yabwIj? - Why does my mind/spirit have peace?

Oneness with the universe: qatlh 'u' vIyajchu'? - Why do I perfectly understand the universe? / qatlh manuvchuqpu' 'u' jIH je? - Why did the universe and myself join together? (become one...)

If we look at this from a Klingon point of view, what would they consider enlightenment? Probably something about becoming the perfectly warrior:

qatlh SuvwI'na' jIH? - Why am I a definite warrior?
qatlh SuvwI' jIHchu'? - Why am I perfectly a warrior?

Depending on the OPs definition of "Enlightenment" though, these translations could be way off base.
