feelings and concepts... revisited.

From HuangPo

Q: Do you mean that we should not form concepts as >human beings normally do?

A: I have not prevented you; but concepts are related to >the senses; and, when feeling takes place, wisdom is >shut out.

Q: Then should we avoid any feeling in relation to the >Dharma?

A: Where no feeling arises, who can say that you are >right?

Feeling arises from concepts. Concepts and feelings shut out the "wisdom" But isn't it human nature to form concepts? Isn't it hunan nature to feel when overwhelmed? How does one not "form concepts as human beings normally do"?
