I was reading about mindfulness here . At the end I found this paragraph
> Let alone seven years, anyone who develops these four kinds of
> mindfulness meditation in this way for six years … five years … four
> years … three years … two years … one year … seven months … six months
> … five months … four months … three months … two months … one month …
> a fortnight … **Let alone a fortnight, anyone who develops these four
> kinds of mindfulness meditation in this way for seven days can expect
> one of two results: enlightenment in the present life, or if there’s
> something left over, non-return.**
Here Tathagata saying one keeping that kind of mindfulness for 7 days can get enlightenment? Is it exaggeration, translation problem or understanding problem or it's true?
