Baoche and the Wind: what does this Koan mean?

Zen master Baoche of Mt. Mayu was fanning himself. A monk approached and said, "master, the nature of wind is permanent and there is no place it does not reach. Why, then, do you fan yourself?"

Baoche replied, "Although you understand that the nature of the wind is permanent, you do not understand the meaning of its reaching everywhere."
