Salik,
It's always reminded me, too, a little, of the Riddle of the Sphinx.
But it exemplifies directly the stages of a person's "career", vis-a-vis Zen
practice:
At first, no awakening;
then, awakening;
then, natural integration of awakening into every facet and detail of daily
life, as realization, and not a trace of awakening remains, and no one can
smell it.
Best,
--Joe
