4.42
Ascending the high seat, [the Master] cited: "The National Teacher said, 'Speaking of the gradual, turning away from the ordinary accords with the Way; discussing the sudden, it leaves no trace.' Yunmen said, 'Taking up the gavel, raising the fly-whisk, and snapping the fingers—if you examine it closely, it is not yet without traces.'" The Master gave a shout and instructed, "Why talk in your sleep?" He then raised his fly-whisk and again snapped his fingers, saying, "Jingshan right now raises the fly-whisk and snaps his fingers: if you seek traces here, you will enter hell as swift as an arrow shot."
