shadow of the whip

a seeker said to buddha

I do not ask for words, I do not ask for silence
buddha just sat quietly


the seeker said admiringly
the compassion of the world honored one
has opened clouds of my illusion
and has enabled me to enter on the path

making his salutation, he departed

ananda then asked buddha
what was it this stranger realised

that he so praised you
the world honored one replied
a high class horse moves even at
the shadow of the whip
