Empowerment: Foolish Errand

Pursuing the path
Makes no difference,
Not pursuing the path
Makes no difference,

And yet,
Those who will pursue
Will pursue
And those who won’t, won’t;

Either way,
It makes no difference.
Some will find
And then lose insight,

Others may
See it always,
And still others
May never see it,

It’s all the same
Because
Wisdom either arises
Or it doesn’t,

Either comes and goes
Or continues to arise
But which is which?
No one can predict,

Which is why
A Buddha’s story
Can only be told
After death
But even then, nobody knows!
