3.49

Ascending the hall, [the Master said,] "Approaching thought and departing from thought, awakening and non-awakening, having mind and having no mind, whether good or evil—churned into a single lump, taking error and following error." Raising his fly-whisk, he said, "Strung together on the tip of the fly-whisk, going along just like that, the karmic consciousness is vast and boundless, with no foundation to rely on. And tell me: between the one whose karmic consciousness is vast and boundless and old man Śākya, how much distance is there?" He gave a shout and said, "I almost added the wrong footnote!"
