Only if

Behind the outer facade of fake smiles,
we feel in hearts aspirations denied,
of weary souls who have walked many miles,
but found out too late that ego had lied
and that light of God was always inside.
If only we had someone to teach us,
free from desire, no dark fears would nonplus
and we would live a life free from conflict,
frolicking without fuss in God’s bliss bus,
our head and heart linked, tranquil soul love inked.

Yes, you are right. However, even for those who are ‘normal’ ~ their orientation being focused on the material which is ephemeral rather than the ethereal, which is eternal, they feel incomplete at end of days. So if guidance is available earlier on in life, much time can be saved and suffering avoided.

It is not always because mind likes complications, some individuals have mental health challenges that makes it difficult to find that bliss or light, i feel for them. Nobody likes dwelling in complications

The truth is difficult to reach because it is easy and mind likes complications!
