大慧普覺禪師語錄 20.10

20.10

乍得心身寧靜，切須努力，不得便向寧靜處挅根，教中謂之解脫深坑可畏之處。須教轉轆轆，如水上葫蘆，自由自在，不受拘牽，入淨入穢，不礙不沒，方於衲僧門下，有少親近分。若只抱得不哭孩兒，有甚用處？空慧思之。

When you initially attain tranquility of body and mind, you must diligently exert effort; you must not immediately bury your roots in the place of tranquility. In the teachings this is called the fearful place of the deep pit of liberation. You must make it roll smoothly like a gourd on water, free and self-at-ease, not subjected to restraint, entering the pure and entering the defiled without obstruction and without sinking; only then will you have a slight share of intimacy in the school of patch-robed monks. If you only hold a child who does not cry, what use is it? Konghui, think on this.
