Very wise RedeZra

The thorn is used to remove the thorn then both are thrown away.

The ego hears of enliightenment and wants it, it becomes a spiritual ego little realising that it is signing its own death warrent.

Nothing needs to be added - Not this not this leads to the answer to the question what am I? its a subtraction process.

Before enlightenment
Chopping wood --- fetching water.

After enlightenment
Chopping wood ------ fetching water.
