10.126

肇曰:至義非言宣,尋言則失至。且妙理常一,語應無方,而欲以無方之語定常一之理者,不亦謬哉。是以依義不依語者,見之明也。生曰:不復逐語取相而昧其理也。

[Seng]zhao says: The ultimate meaning cannot be proclaimed in words; if one pursues words, one loses the ultimate. Moreover, the wondrous principle is ever singular, while verbal responses are without fixed direction; would it not be an error to seek to fix the ever-singular principle by means of directionless words? Therefore, relying on the meaning and not on the words is clarity of vision. [Dao]sheng says: One no longer chases after words, grasps at signs, and obscures the principle.
