Paradox : Any Relevance?

Though what they do not understand as yet
is as it totally irrelevant to them now,
what they do not understand
is that it might be totally relevant.

From the Dhammapada: 

Those who mistake the unessential to be essential
and the essential to be unessential,
dwelling in wrong thoughts,
never arrive at the essential.

Those who know the essential to be essential
and the unessential to be unessential,
dwelling in right thoughts,
do arrive at the essential.
