涅槃經遊意 1.133

1.133

解云：若更有解，還同足載耳！只除前來諸解，注意自現，何煩別說耶！而今為障，學者未能體道，今因指識月，藉教知理，而心無所存。又云：「無離文字，說解脫相。」又經云：「乃知解脫無言，未知言則解脫。」

Explanation: If there were yet another explanation, it would be just like adding another load [to an already overburdened cart]! Merely eliminate the aforementioned explanations, and the intended meaning will appear of itself; why bother with a separate explanation? Yet now, for the sake of those who are hindered and learners who have not yet been able to embody the path, we now point to the moon by means of the finger, and through the teachings know the principle, while the mind retains nothing. It also says: 'Without departing from words and letters, one speaks of the marks of liberation.' The sūtra also says: 'They only know that liberation has no words, but do not know that words are themselves liberation.'
