A. Although you say that rummaging through the grass is futile, you cannot attain enlightenment without the things that you call grass, because they are actually the very true-Self. You mistake them for grass because you don’t see them as they are.
You should know that the grass is no other than the true-Self you are looking for. There is a saying that seeking to attain one by discarding the other is struggling with illusions. Try to see what you think of as grass just as it is, without being swayed by its image and name.
