1.24

'Xi' means soundless; 'yi' means colorless. Laozi says: 'Listen to it and it is not heard, which is called *xi*; look at it and it is not seen, which is called *yi*.' This re-manifests the marks of depth and vastness. Because it is deep, listening to it, it is not heard; because it is vast, looking at it, it is not seen. This means that this essence of the mind corresponds only to realization, not being something reachable by seeing or hearing.
