Hi all of you,
The following might help to sort of understand Senzar, - although it might take years before the hidden point is learned:
Nasrudin in Waterworld
'Nasrudin was working as a ferry man.
One day a pedant employed him to convey him across the water
As their journey progressed Nasrudin said something ungrammatical
'Have you never learnt the correct use of grammar' fumed the scholar
'No I aint' replyed the mulla
'Then you have wasted half your life' scoffed the man of letters
Further into the journey a storm began to brew up and Nasrudins crazy cockle shell of a boat started to fill with water.
'Have you ever learnt to swim?' he belowed at the pendant through the now howling wind
'No' came the worried reply
'Then I'm afraid you've wasted all your life; where sinking!'
One interpretation is that the mulla knows what is important and what is not, the scholar (the unenlightend) doesn't we are the scholar.
A comparative study (Problably only for scholars and the like)

(And of course this version shouldn't be confused with another one on Sand and spiritual Camels - and travelling the Desert).

As Wine(r) Pooh the cotton bear problably would say - with affection:
"I think I have caught a Heffalump."
And Piglit would answer - somewhat nervously:
"Yes. I think, that is something you think."
And Pooh would say - even more excited:
"Yes. Now the eastern bee's of the middle will be no problem anymore."
