People are afraid, very much afraid of those who know themselves. They have a certain power, a certain aura and a certain magnetism, a charisma that can take out alive, young people from the traditional imprisonment.... The enlightened man cannot be enslaved - that is the difficulty - and he cannot be imprisoned.... Every genius who has known something of the inner is bound to be a little difficult to be absorbed; he is going to be an upsetting force. The masses dont want to be disturbed, even though they may be in misery; they are in misery, but they are accustomed to the misery. And anybody who is not miserable looks like a stranger. The enlightened man is the greatest stranger in the world; he does not seem to belong to anybody. No organization confines him, no community, no society, no nation.

if a person knows himself, he ceases to be misreable. perfectly alrite.
then?
shud his journey end there?
or...in order to do away with misery all over, he shud help others on the path of their self-realisation?
and ..well... can self -realisation be achieved with sm1's help at all or one needs to help himself in such a cause?
