What you seek is already present
One day a seeker went to a sage. The sage was sitting in a windy corner of a large field. The seeker asked the sage: Can you tell me, why there is suffering?
The sage smiled and gestured around him. The man looked around and saw nothing that gave a clue.
The seeker asked: Then tell me, why are some powerful and others not?
The sage smiled and gestured around him. The man quickly scanned the area and turned back to the sage.
The seeker asked: Then tell me, where do I find true wisdom?
The sage smiled and gestured around him.
The seeker got frustrated, and said: Look I am just a beginning seeker, and I need some help here.
The sage smiled and gestured around him.
Comment of the sage: Whatever the topic is, it is present here and now.
Comment of the fool: Better hammer it down, next time it happens.
