Mumon's Comment
無門曰、參須實參、悟須實悟。
Study should be real study, enlightenment should be real enlightenment.
者箇胡子、直須親見一回始得。
You should once meet this barbarian directly to be really intimate with him.
説親見、早成兩箇。
But saying you are really intimate with him already divides you into two.

(Welcome link) (ewkwho?) note: Two things... first, don't be a faker. That sounds easy, but look how hard fakers work to keep it fake in this forum... look how hard people work to keep it fake in front of churches posing with bibles... don't be a faker would be an earth shaking change of life for some people.
Second, if you see your self nature, then that divides you in two, so it is obviously fake, right? When you see, see anything, you have to really see... not self consciously pretend practice faker see. /r/zensangha/wiki/ewk/4pillarszen... there is no seer... so the practice here is about not dividing yourself.
