3.207

Ming'an said: 'The essence is subtle, but the ancestral principle is lost' refers to being obstructed in the path of words, so the phrase loses the ancestral principle. 'The dynamic activity is blind to beginning and end' means being dim and blind when facing the dynamic moment, staying only within words so the ancestral principle is not rounded. In every phrase, there must be wordlessness within words and words within wordlessness; only then is the subtle principle intimately rounded.
