Ascending the hall, [the Master] said: "When the six faculties return to the source, down to the bottom they are numinously clear without blemish. When the nature of the four great elements is restored, throughout the body one is pure without dust. Directly, causes and conditions are cut off and continuity ceases; past and present are blended, and sameness and difference are obliterated. Can you all still understand it thoroughly? The numinous bird dreams on a branch that does not sprout; the flower of awakening is shadowless in the spring at the treetop."
