Is it difficult for the awakened ones to work with those who are blind?

definition
"The awakened one can only guide those who are willing to admit their ignorance; when the heart opens and the mind becomes childlike, the truth reveals itself effortlessly."
According to Osho, yes—it is harder than ever. Modern 'blindness' comes from the illusion of knowledge: people believe they know, so the awakened one cannot reach them. When a seeker admits 'I know nothing,' becomes childlike, and opens the heart, the work becomes effortless; the master simply helps you see what is already true.
It’s hard to help someone who thinks they already know; be like a child, admit you don’t, and truth can be shown easily.
