The Deliverance of All the Fallen Souls
Srila Prabhupada most wonderfully enlightens us in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Second Canto, Chapter 8, Text 25 as follows:
"It is said that a single pure devotee of the Lord can deliver all the fallen souls of the world. Thus one who is actually in the confidence of a pure devotee like Nārada or Śukadeva Gosvāmī and thus is empowered by one's spiritual master, as Nārada was by Brahmājī, can not only deliver himself from the clutches of māyā, or illusion, but can deliver the whole world by his pure and empowered devotional strength. The comparison to the autumnal rain that falls on muddy reservoirs of water is very appropriate. During the rainy season, all the waters of the rivers become muddy, but in the month of July-August, the autumn season, when there is a slight rainfall, the muddy waters of the rivers all over the world become at once clear. By addition of some chemical, a small reservoir of water like that of a metropolitan waterworks tank can be cleared, but by such a tiny effort it is not possible to clear up all the reservoirs of water like the rivers. A powerful pure devotee of the Lord, however, can deliver not only his personal self but also many others in his association.
"In other words, the cleansing of the polluted heart by other methods (like the culture of empiric knowledge or mystic gymnastics) can simply cleanse one's own heart, but devotional service to the Lord is so powerful that it can cleanse the hearts of the people in general, by the devotional service of the pure, empowered devotee. A true representative of the Lord like Nārada, Śukadeva Gosvāmī, Lord Caitanya, the six Gosvāmīs and later Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura and Śrīmad Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, etc., can deliver all people by their empowered devotional service."
So out of compassion for the suffering people of this world let us all become true representatives of Krishna who are empowered to deliver everyone back to home, back to Godhead.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom
Question: Why Enlightened Souls Remain Silent?
Why do most truly enlightened souls become silent when they're asked to describe the moment of enlightenment?Anirudh Shekhawat
Answer: Because They Are Not Truly Enlightened
They are silent because they are not truly enlightened. They are just making a show. Those who are truly enlightened broadcast their realizations to the entire world to save the suffering humanity from their countless miseries. Hajrat Mohammad and Jesus Christ and two notable examples of this in the Western countries. In Indian history there are thousands of sages who have loudly proclaimed their realizations. A notable recent example of this is His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder:Acharya of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, which is now offering the solution for the coronavirus and the countless other anomalies that are presently torturing the human society.Sankarshan Das
