Transcript

When will I be enlightened?

The seeker asked.

When you see,

Replied the master.

See what?

The seeker inquired.

Trees and flowers and moon and stars,

The master explained.

But I see these every day.

The seeker protested.

No,

What you see is paper trees,

Paper flowers,

Paper moons and paper stars.

For you dwell not in reality,

But in your words and thoughts.

With a gentle touch,

The master added.

You live a paper life,

Alas,

And will die a paper death.
