止觀輔行傳弘決 1.56

1.56

圓行中言「一向」者，若不一向即屬餘二。餘二非不一向專求，但行相別，故屬餘二。言「直入中道」者，勿謂但中也，但是不為偏空偏假所牽，是故名為「不動不寂」。從勝為名，故云直入。人不見之，即便謂為先觀但中。都無此理。

In the perfect practice, the word "wholly" means that if it were not wholly directed, it would belong to the other two. It is not that the other two do not single-mindedly and exclusively seek it, but because their marks of practice differ, they belong to the other two. "Entering straight into the middle way" does not mean the exclusive middle; it simply means not being pulled by one-sided emptiness or one-sided provisionality, and for this reason it is called "neither active nor tranquil." It is named after what is superior, hence it is said to "enter straight." People failing to see this immediately take it to mean contemplating the exclusive middle first. There is no such principle at all.
