Enlightened people seldom or never possess a sense of respon

Summary

This quote suggests that enlightened individuals, who have gained a high level of understanding or insight, often do not feel burdened by a strong sense of responsibility. They may have transcended ego-driven desires and attachments, focusing instead on their inner growth and connection to a broader consciousness. Consequently, they may feel less compelled to take on conventional responsibilities associated with societal expectations. This could be because they prioritize personal development and spiritual alignment above conforming to external obligations.

Let no man write my epitaph; for as no man who knows my motives dare now vindicate them, let not prejudice or ignorance asperse them. Let them rest in obscurity and peace! Let my memory be left in oblivion, my tomb remain uninscribed, until other times and other men can do justice to my character.
