He replied: â€œNot picking
up things along the road.â€.?

The Truth is not disguished, nor is it trapped in a riddle or complex enigma. It does not need to be uncovered like a buried treasure or disected by science to be seen. It is in plain site for all to see and take. However, much like a well hidden Easter Egg, the lazy will never find it. For even though it is plain site, you must scour all the grounds and look in every direction.

Then, when you are in the right spot, looking in the right direction, the truth, like the Easter Egg will be as visible and open to you as if it were not ever hidden at all.

Few people come to this mountaintop;
cranes do not huddle in the pines.
One Buddhist monk, eighty years old,
has never heard of the worldâ€™s affairs.
