DEUT492 Is self-accounting the same for all people? I would say, in response to this question, that earnest deliberation on one's religious and secular concerns varies, in accordance with each person's perception, intelligence, and clarity of understanding. Each and every individual is obligated to make a personal accounting of what he is bound to do in the service of the Creator, May He be exalted, in accordance with his recognition of the Creator’s graces, universal [those he shares with all others] and particular [those specially bestowed upon him]. As it says in Scripture: “Consider it this day; For it is not with your children, who did not know and experience the discipline of Hashem your God, [that I am speaking].... For it was your eyes that saw all the great work that God performed [Devarim 11:2-7]. The meaning here is that God's claim on you is much stronger and more glaring than it is on your children, who did not have the opportunity to witness His wonders as you did. For you saw them with your own eyes. You, and not they, were specially graced with great favors; And you, not they, were spared from the plagues of Egypt and of Korach. Therefore, you are under special obligation to serve God, [in gratitude] for these [favors]. This is true of all others as well. Different peoples have different obligations, in accordance with their respective powers of perception and in accordance with the different degrees to which they have been graced with favors.
