Every human has the potential of genius from the moment of conception, and every liberated soul will know that it has always been so.Only when enlightenment is known does the search become redundant.
And anyone who is certain of their own enlightenment has no compulsion to search. But there are many seekers (and many misguided), and there is little value (and indeed very much confusion will result) in simply telling everyone that there is no path worth following and that (whatever they might think) everyone is already enlightened, so just kick back and enjoy!
BUT does anyone seriously suggest that since we are all born genii there is no need for any kind of education?
NO jina has ever deny that there was a true path by which his inborn genius was brought to fruition, and every jina is automatically a guru of his path, who leads by his own wise example.
If education excludes dharma, and then those “educated” masses reject dharma as superfluous, and even those who have been raised by dharma dismiss their own mother as a confusing impediment to proper understanding, then the lunatics have taken over the asylum and every problem that humanity faces is only to be expected!
In such a situation, the brahmacArin, through ahiMsA, can only withdraw ~ but simultaneously the avadhUta, through ahiMsAsatyAste, is aroused and compelled to sacred action. The nAgA absolutely defends the dharma that he himself has all but renounced (having incorporated all dharma and washed away all karma), so he has no personal attachment to any actions or their limited results. It is the singular result alone that is ultimately considered.
