Your point is very consistent with one of my favorite Zen sayings:
"Equality without differentiation is poor equality.
Differentiation without equality is poor differentiation."

During my formative years, I pondered how to determine whether my teacher was enlightened or not .... and I came to the same conclusion as your stated affirmation. |

I too do not have "enlightened" as part of my vocabulary. On that subject, I prefer to say NOTHING.

Great quote! I immediately wanted to know know who the author was, until it dawned on me that it would be an act of futility... :-P |

You would probably appreciate a saying of Chuang Tzu (as translated rather loosely by Thomas Merton) I'm in trouble for quoting too much ( ) but the gist is that when a fish is caught the fish trap is forgotten, when ideas are grasped then words are forgotten. The saying ends with:- "Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to."
( Perhaps finding a woman who has forgotten words would be rather more difficult.... - joke ) |
