Another layman bowed before bound gay and asked, Is it true that when someone is enlightened as you are, he can really see the past present and future worlds, just as if he's looking at the palm of his hand. Bonnke looked at him and said, Is that a question? Is that question something you thought up beforehand? Or did it occur to you just now? In other words, have you been chewing over and reflecting on this in preparation for our meeting? Or is this a natural, spontaneous question that you're asking? Then the layman admits? Well, it didn't come into my head just now. When I asked it. It's something I thought about before. And Bankei says, in that case, it will be all right to leave that for later. First of all, what you must do right now is to find out about yourself until you've completed that, no matter how much I describe to you what the three worlds look like. You wouldn't be be able to understand what I'm saying, because you couldn't see them for yourself. And in the context of this exchange, the three worlds are past, present and future. But, in in Buddhist cosmology, the three worlds can mean have other meanings, which we won't get into, because it's not not relevant here. And Bank A says, once, once you found out about yourself, the question of both seeing the three worlds past, present and future and not seeing them will be something you'll know about quite naturally. There's no sense in in my trying to tell you about it, and no need in your asking me. Rather than do what you should be doing, dealing with the matter of yourself. You come here with worthless questions that you don't really need to know about now, and miss the point completely. You're Miss directing your effort to what's altogether irrelevant to you. It's like counting up someone else's money, when you're not going to get a penny of it for yourself. So listen to what I'm telling you. The important thing for you to do is to find out all about yourself. Pay careful attention to my instructions. If you follow them, and become absolutely sure of them yourself. That very instant, you're a living Buddha, then you'll realize how mistaken you've been to carry around needless questions, such as the one you just asked. And you want to record your effort where you shouldn't.
