the magic wand

for a moment, assume, i have a magic wand, and suddenly, i've reached some sort of perfect spiritual bliss and ultimate compassionate level. then... what happens?

will i examine every action, and if it's feasible, change it so all my actions are in sync with my new-found knowledge?
spend the rest of my life in a cave, enjoying this bliss?
do everything normally, and enjoying this bliss anyway since i've seen through it all?
like they say, devote to selfless service to mankind, as those kinds of actions can utilize the full extent of my new-found compassion?

or, my puny mind simply wouldn't comprehend? but even if i don't comprehend, what are these enlightened individuals among us actually doing on a day-to-day basis?
