the sage...

The life of a sage appears to others to be as
purposeless as the actions of an infant.

The
infant lives in the bliss of ignorance,

while the
self-realized sage lives in the bliss beyond both
ignorance and knowledge.

In fact, the sage is
no longer even an individual,

in spite of the
presence of a fully developed intellect.
