Being enlightened is the greatest service you can give to the world as per Ramana Maharshi.
After getting enlightened, you can enjoy the bliss and peace of your natural state without any cessation. Also the positive vibes flowing from you will enable others around you to meditate or adhere to virtous conduct easily. The enlightened one is also a source of auspiciousness wherever he or she goes.
In a village next to mine, there lived a female enlightened master in the last century. This region, in comparison to other regions have a very low crime rate and low incidence of natural disasters which people attribute to the master's grace. Even now one can still feel the positive vibes and auspiciousness over this place and it is now a tourist site as well.
Many people even now talk about the master's miracles and her command over natural phenomena.
