A
person getting enlightened is like the moon reflecting in the water. The moon
does not get wet, the water is not disturbed. Though it is a great expanse of
light, it reflects in a little bit of water; the whole moon and the whole sky
reflect even in the dew on the grass; they reflect even in a single drop of
water. Enlightenment not disturbing the person is like the moon not piercing the
water. A person not obstructing enlightenment is like the dewdrop not
obstructing the heavens.
