Maybe a person who reached enlightenment felt that he didn't need to, because another who got there would simply understand.

And even if it were explained to the "unenlightened", that person wouldn't understand, or even if that person would understand, that person wouldn't be at the essence of what can't be described. Do you think that the petty human mind can grasp something so great as life itself?

If a drop of water could understand, being itself dissolved in the ocean, it could choose to stay attached to it's individuality or to realize it's the ocean itself, and that within the ocean is the drop.

I suggest not being concerned with anything else, simply enlightenment. Drop all your issues, bad habits and bad thinking immediately and simply put super human efforts into following your heart, doing solid work and doing what results in either pleasantness or indifference to what life brings.
