Because he simply doesnt have tools to get the full comprehension of a situation or to realize who he is.

I think that it's not completely true. So long ago people had a bit different relationship with the world than for example people who live fast in the big cities, so their wisdom or so called enlightenment could come not from the books, Internet, etc., but from their personal experiences, commune with nature, or a guidance from someone who had good connection with inner self or the universe. In the end, it all has to be found in self, no external guidance can replace it (in my opinion) and this inner voice and inner guidance have been there always regardless of times. The thing that may be different though is that nowadays people can have more liberal thinking without any risk of being burned at the stake. ;)
