1.18

The Buddha said: "The Way has no form; knowing it [intellectually] is of no benefit. What is essential is that one must maintain resolve and practice. Just like polishing a mirror, when the grime is removed, the brightness remains and one immediately sees one's own form. By severing desire and maintaining emptiness, one immediately sees the truth of the Way and knows past lives."
