6.43

A person who walks the Way wonderfully transcends words and thoughts. Directly authentic, one naturally possesses a path of assent. Furthermore, do not attach to principles; be vastly and implicitly in accord. The moon flows through the waters; the wind moves through the great void. Naturally not colliding and not obstructing, transcending illumination and function. Although illuminating, there is no trace; although functioning, there are no tracks. Entering samādhi within the various dusts, gathering the myriad phenomena into a single seal. Severing leakages, without straying away—this is called a patch-robed monk who has finished the affair. You must also remember the road for returning home: the clouds exhausted, the sky is cold; autumn is sparse, the mountains are lean. This is the original dwelling place.
