Dharma Master [Seng]zhao said: 'Although one understands profound meanings, they have not yet been internalized for mental cultivation; honoring oneself and disdaining others, one cannot instruct or benefit them—this is the scholar's external affliction. Relying on one's understanding, one grasps characteristics and makes discriminations; although called understanding, it does not accord with true understanding—this is the scholar's internal affliction.'
