One thereby gets in touch with the truth of one's being. It is like standing on a rock while all around there is constantly shifting sand. The warrior (I use that term because it resonates with young men like the fifteen-year-old) consciously marches to the tune of his own drummer rather than the social tunes of his peers or family. When one stands in his/her own truth, it doesn't matter what anyone else does; the path forward is obvious, even if everyone else is going in the other direction.
This is why family and peers have so much trouble with the self-realized person. S/he doesn't do what is expected, and is indifferent to the usual forms of social manipulation.
