All differentiations and particularizations are not separated from the Mind in itself. The Mind has immeasurable size and its function is limitless. Using the eye, it perceives its shape; using the ear, it hears sounds, with the nose it smells odors, and with the tongue knows taste, and from such movements and turnings forms the idea of self. In one cut, slice time from its middle and destroy the way of words and speech, along with thought and its resting place.
Bodhidharma
Wandering Ronin commentary: Look everyone, a special circumstance: I am sometimes bound up within this person that I cannot escape. I am dragged here and there quite often by the bull I've attempted to tame. Sometimes, when a full moon happens, I can leap away from these chains to become as if a ghost. What in the world can be done about me? If you find it, let me know.
