Enlightenment

An acient proverb, probably horribly misquoted, but essentially correct:

A student, searching for enlightenment, was walking the path one hot sunny day, when the student met a traveler walking the path down the hill and carrying a heavy load. The student at once recognized the traveler as an enlightened being and stopped the traveler to speak with him. The student asked the traveler, "Master, what is enlightenment?" The traveler stopped, thought a moment, set his heavy load to the ground, and looked at the student with a sly smile on his face. The student realized the leason, and then asked, "Master, but after enlightenment, then what?" At that, the traveler smiled broadly, took up his heavy load, and continued his walk along the path.
