There is a parable that a farmer just provide the right conditions for the seeds to grow, but can not make the growth by himself. It must be the seeds that will make the growth. And Vibhassana is similar to this, we provide the proper conditions, and the result i.e. the wisdom, will occur by itself. For a clear direction of how to do this see arjarn Pramote.
