佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 4.11

4.11

The pointer says: Not discerning east from west, not distinguishing south from north; from morning to evening, from evening to morning—do you say he is asleep? Sometimes his eyes are like shooting stars—do you say he is awake? Sometimes he calls south north—tell me, does he have mind or no mind? Is he a person of the Way or an ordinary person? If you can penetrate through here, only then will you know where it rests; only then will you know why the ancients acted thus or did not act thus. Tell me, what time is this? Try to cite it for examination.
