He brought up: "A non-Buddhist asked the Buddha: 'I ask neither with words nor without words.' The World-Honoured One sat firmly. The non-Buddhist bowed and said: 'The World-Honoured One, with great loving-kindness and great compassion, has parted my clouds of delusion and enabled me to enter.' After the non-Buddhist left, Ānanda asked the Buddha: 'What did the non-Buddhist realize that he spoke of having entered?' The Buddha said: 'Like a fine horse in the world, running upon seeing the shadow of the whip.'" The Master commented: "Failing to distinguish between heterodox and orthodox—the fault exceeds the shadow of the whip."
