“Schopenhauer's insight suggests that individuals often perceive the boundaries of their own perspective as the boundaries of the world. This phenomenon extends to Buddhas, who may interpret the vastness of their own vision as the boundlessness of the world. It's why Buddhas may express ideas that appear ethereal, as consciousness is more fluid than solid and more dynamic than fluid. As a result, Bodhisattvas, those aspiring to full Buddhahood, are often more articulate than fully enlightened beings. Fully enlightened individuals primarily guide through realization, experience, and symbolism rather than relying on words. Their journey to enlightenment also entails certain losses, including a loss of eloquence, a loss of physical dexterity, a loss of bodily activity, and even a loss of human-like characteristics.” — Saroj Aryal
