Case 35 Two Souls, Gateless Gate
Goso asked a monk, "Sei, the Chinese girl, who was separated from her soul. Which was the real Sei?"
Mumon's Comments: If you obtain genuine awareness of reality, you will know that the soul passes from one husk to another as travellers lodged in an inn. But if you have not obtained the awareness, you should not run around in confusion when the four elements are suddenly ready to become separated (i.e., to die), like a crab with its seven arms and eight legs thrown into the boiling water. Never say that I did not warn you.
The moon in the clouds is one and the same, Valleys and mountains are various. Fortunes above fortunes, Is it one, or is it two?
Old boy Lao-Tzunotzen notzen! notzen!
The Tao begot one.
One begot two.
Two begot three.
And three begot the ten thousand things.
Birds fly and birds shit. Whoever happens to be underneath the winged-dinner gets not what he wants, nor what he deserves. All the while the bird will keep on shitting, without a care, for the rest of its days.
