Once you realize the various illusions you create that keep you from dissolving all your barriers, they disappear.... but then what?
The "what now" of the post enlightened still bears striking resemblance to the "what now" of the pre-enlightened. The things you say no to change, but the conundrum remains, what will you spend your time on? How will you pay your dues? The enlightened may not worry about these things in the same sense as someone who has not yet crossed the first threshold, but at the same time these challenges don't go away either. How are you subsidizing your life?
On a side note, does having children change or preclude a post-enlightened stage? Many of the pandits out there seem to be childless men.... What's up with that?

Having children and going through the lessons learned through family life, has a definite rounding-out effect on ones life (provided, of course, that one can stay the course and not succumb to the many strains and stresses on the way).
