From Cleary's scholarship wipe out Sayings of Zen I Like. The astute reader will note there is no information about the source or any biographical information... nor is there any reference to practice or Buddhism.
If you can stop right now, then stop; if you seek a time of completion, there is no time of completion. If you make up intellectual understanding of this matter based on words, or try to figure it out conceptually, you are far from it as the sky is from the earth.
For people of great power, cutting in two with one slash in not yet attainment; how much less is being called away by someone else to give muddled explanations in an abbot's room, citing scripture and treatise, bringing up senses and objections, material phenomena, transcendence and immanence, being and non-being, gain and loss!
Some day you will die without having found your place.
