Sariputra and a Jerk's Enlightenment

Continuation of stories about Sariputra Once a jerk came to Sariputra and asked him: - You say the same goal has different ways to reach: a good man follows the path of virtue; a yogi seeks solitude; a philosopher goes to the library and a believer - to the temple. I don’t believe, I can’t read, I hate loneliness, I’m a bad person, I have no goal. What is my path? - Go away, - Sariputra said. That's how the jerk got enlightened and found his way.
