In true enlightenment, this question does not arise.

People who talk about seclusion, the uncomfortableness of “dealing” with “unenlightened” people, the lament of not being understood or abandoned are simply not enlightened yet.

The question is akin to asking an experienced parent who raised multiple children “How do you deal with children?”

He simply wouldn’t understand the question. He doesn’t have to “deal” with his children. He knows them, he enjoys them, he loves them.

Does he lament that the relationship and intimacy are somewhat assymetrical? No. Does he know that young children can often be naive and confused about life? Sure. Is he frustrated by this fact and wants to bring them to adulthood as soon as possible? No.

When they make mistakes, do something silly or say something silly, he can play along, drop a hint or simply be there to support them. But at no moment he loses his kindness, understanding or love, because he went through it all. They don’t view him as “weird”, “out of this world”, or alien. They are a source of joy for him.

You could say that his intimacy with his children greatly exceeds their intimacy with him. He understands them, they are yet unable to understand him. But is he bothered by this fact in the slightest? No.

Does he think all this makes him a “better” person than they are? A more “evolved” person? No, this is ridiculous. It’s just not their time. He was once like them. He allows them to be who they are.

So, it’s kinda similar in enlightenment, but the intimacy is much greater.
