1.46

疎山問：「一切處不乖時如何？」師曰：「闍黎！此是功勳邊事。幸有無功之功，子何不問？」云：「無功之功，豈不是那邊人？」師曰：「大有人笑子恁麼問。」云：「恁麼則迢然去也？」師曰：「迢然，非迢然，非不迢然。」云：「如何是迢然？」師曰：「喚作那邊人即不得。」云：「如何是非迢然？」師曰：「無辨處。」

Shushan asked: "How is it when in all places there is no discord?" The Master said: "Ācārya, this is an affair on the side of merit. Fortunately, there is merit without effort; why do you not ask about that?" [Shushan] said: "Is not merit without effort the person on that other side?" The Master said: "Many people would laugh at you for asking in such a way." [Shushan] said: "If so, then is one far off and secluded?" The Master said: "Secluded, not secluded, not non-secluded." [Shushan] said: "What is being secluded?" The Master said: "To call him a person of that side will not do." [Shushan] said: "What is being not secluded?" The Master said: "There is nowhere to distinguish."
