You can only give what others are willing to receive, small words of enlightenment may be offered to those on the way but it is best not to preach and alienate others ;0)
-
Only .... if they were interested :)
-
Yes, I would dedicate my life to such a worthwhile cause
-
Of course, if they were willing to take my assistance.
-
How does one ever know one has attained enlightenment? If approached by others and my assistance were sought, I would be glad to be of whatever help I could. I would never approach others without being invited to do so. :)
-
Yes, because enlightenment would be a lonely place otherwise.
-
Yes ... "The hardest gift to give, yet the one most needed, is and will always be, wisdom." Buddha.

If you have been enlightened in any aspect..whether it is how to save a life or save the other person a little anguish..or money..OR be of some assistance to anyone in any way..you should try your best to tell them and get them to listen. Illustration: If you saw a tornado coming in the distance and it was headed for your neighbors house, would you (a)go back to what you were doing..OR (b)call him on the phone and keep calling until he answered ?? You would hopefully(prayerfully)keep dialing that phone until your fingers were numb.

Our peace is our own path - without asking for my help or guidance, no I wouldn't.
-
If I could, I would. But how do you get there? I think you have to die and go to heaven first.
-
If you were not willing to, then you probably didn't attain enlightenment in the first place.
-
What is enlightenment if not to be a guide to others?
-
Throughout our lives we assess things as...if this happens, then I will do that...but we never really know until we experience the this...I don't think anyone can obtain pure enlightenment but we are on different levels of it....we share with others constantly what we know or think we know...but each of us have to find our own way...
-
Most definitely. I love to pass along things that I have learned to others.
-
I think I may give them the whack on the forehead they may need, yes.
-
I have, and people don't want help...they don't believe, and they hated Jesus, therefore, they hate me. I will still continue to try the best way I know how.

One who is enlightened is walking in light. Everybody knows it. They know this person is enlightened. People naturally ask questions. Enlightened ones do not seek people out. There is no need to make a concious decision of assisting them. Enlightened ones have "become what they are". Live and walk in light. They are exemplifying and teaching just by being there.
