I think if such a community ever does start it will include many who are almost enlightened, and many who are, and maybe a few who have potential but still need a lot of help. It would probably be founded by someone who is not yet enlightened. Maybe those who are already enlightened don't have the ambition despite having the ability.

Maybe those who are enlightened figure everyone already has themselves sorted out just perfectly?
In an eternal sense, of course. |

What makes you think an enlightened person would care about being part of such a community when they've got the entire planet? And universe. |

Well I'm not sure there is such a thing but here is a guy who wants to change the world through his teachings and bring about an enlightened society by 2035 http://www.bentinhomassaro.com/ |

With a name like "Shivatar", you are probably familiar with Ramana Maharshi. Ramana never intended to start a "community". It just happened around him.
There are other forms of "community" that are not localized, as another member here suggested.

The entire planet isn't enlightened, for one.

If you attach to the sacred and avert the secular,
you are bobbing around in the sea of birth and death.

Enlightened folks don't need a society.

They also know why they'd never sign up for one and why others would. |
