The arhata seems to be a little hard

The arhata seems to be a little hard. His understanding is: “Just as I have found my enlightenment, so everybody should find their own enlightenment. Why should I interfere into anybody’s sleep?” He has a point. His understanding is that this goes against compassion. Somebody is sleeping and snoring, having beautiful dreams, and you unnecessarily push and pull the man. You wake him and tell him, “Become enlightened, become awake. All that you are seeing is only a dream. Don’t be lost in dreams.” But certainly it is a kind of interference, poking your nose into somebody’s affairs. The arhata has a point but it looks a little hard.
