Dear friend,
according to the teaching of the Buddha
you have to find out by your own!
<---
Sleeping Buddhas, Awaken!
"So Rinpoche," she asked, "if these grand old living Buddha-lamas are as
perfectly enlightened, awakened, omniscent, skillful, powerful, and
compassionate as we think they are, why don't they just wake us up from
the sleep of delusion?"
"Who's asleep?" the master replied.

Of course, this could be an answer to any question asked about Buddhism whatsoever. The issue was not about how worldlings and others come to know anything (or come to awakening) but what omniscience or other deep awareness allows, and why these omniscient individuals are not communicating more and not giving more helpful information than they do (as I understand my friend's questioning). 
thank you.
