Sayings of Joshu #146 (Mu?)

A monk asked, "Shellfish dry down the road, does the mendicant sputter when confronted by horseback?"

Joshu said, "Whom are you probing?"

The monk said, "The self."

Joshu said, "Probe the horse."

"No horse" has sometimes seemed, to me, like I might become by "letting go". Maybe a little like a bear. Importantly, maybe a little like haircut (exciting).
