Chapter 13
There are things which mind is naturally incapable of understanding. The mind has limitations, but our ego does not want to accept the limitations of the mind.
Every sense has its own limitation. You cannot see with your ears and you cannot hear with your eyes. In the same way, you can see objects with the mind but you cannot see the beyond, the formless with the mind. To the mind it will look absurd – just as light is absurd to the blind man, to the deaf no music exists in the world. Those who have become too much identified with the mind – and unfortunately all the civilizations and cultures that have existed in the world have enforced and reinforced the mind…
Zen is alone and unique. It points beyond the mind. So remember not to try to understand rationally, intelligently. Only in deep meditation and silence will you be able to feel the significance of these small anecdotes. They have something hidden in them, but it is not possible for the mind to figure it out.
Put the mind aside, and suddenly you can see the truth which mind was blocking. As far as Zen is concerned, mind is a block to reality. Except mind, nobody is hindering you declaring your buddhahood this very moment.cabd
