But to tell it to you does no good at all; it is you are the person that wants it, not I; and I am not you. You must find your own salvation. It is not necessary to drink all the water; just a drop of it tells you the taste and mystery of the whole ocean. Let the infinite song of the forests and hills wander through the four seasons; you will find that song in the shiver of a leaf, in the beckoning of a grass, that lies before you at your feet. And when you forget the question of truth is when you perfectly understand it; as the real mountaineer does not see the mountain, the true seeker of truth never sees truth, because he is truth itself.”
