कदाचित् कस्यचित् भिक्षोः मनसि आगतानां सन्देहानाम् उत्तरम् अदत्त्वा बुद्धः केवलं मन्दाहासं प्रकटयति । तदा भिक्षुः वदति यत् अत्रापि उत्तरं न लभ्यते, लौकिकजीवनं प्रत्येव गमिष्यामि अहम् इति । तदा बुद्धः - 'जीवस्य सत्ता वादं न अवलम्बते । भवन्मनसि आगतानां प्रश्नानामुत्तरं गच्छता कालेन गुरुमुखात् ग्रन्थाध्ययनात् वा प्राप्येत । तर्कमार्गः अन्यः, निर्वाणमार्गः अन्यः । निर्वाणमार्गस्य उपदेशमात्रं मम कर्तव्यम्' इति अबोधयत् बुद्धः । (“केन्द्रीयसंस्कृतविश्वविद्यालयस्य अष्टादशीयोजनान्तर्गततया एतासां कथानां ध्वनिप्रक्षेपणं क्रियते”) This story reflects the Buddha's emphasis on spiritual guidance and the distinction between worldly logic and the path to enlightenment. Once, a monk asked the Buddha about his doubts but did not receive an answer. Instead, the Buddha simply smiled gently. The monk then said, 'If I cannot find an answer here, I will return to my worldly life.' Buddha replied, 'The existence of life is not based on debate. The answers to the questions arising in your mind will come over time, either through studying scriptures or with the guidance of a teacher. The path of reasoning is different, and the path to nirvana is different. It is my duty to teach the path to nirvana.
