In my school, there are only two kinds of sickness. One is to go looking for a donkey riding on the donkey. The other is to be unwilling to dismount once having mounted the donkey.
When the two sicknesses are gone, and there is nothing on your mind, then you are called a wayfarer. What else is there?
This is why when Zhaozhou asked Nanquan, “What is the path?” Nanquan replied, “ The normal mind is the path.” Now Zhaozhou suddenly stopped his hasty search, recognized the sickness of “ Zen Masters” and the sickness of “ Buddhas,” and passed through it all.
~ Foyan
Commentary
It's really that simple, isn't it? First stop seeking. You are already what you are looking for. Secondly, when all the bliss and all that nonsense comes, just be willing to let go of that too.
Don't seek, don't cling. The eternal message of Zen.
