4.115

A monk asked Yunmen, "'The Bhagavats of the ten directions have one single road to the gate of nirvāṇa'—what is the single road to the gate of nirvāṇa?" Yunmen said, "I cannot say." The monk said, "Why can the upādhyāya not say?" Yunmen said, "It is fine for you to bring up the topic." In an alternative [the Master] said, "In shallow water there are no fish; dropping a hook is a waste of effort."
