Joshu on Responsibility and Facts

A monk asked, "What is the fact that I accept responsibility for?"

The master said, "To the ends of time you'll never single it out."

Case 151, Recorded sayings of Zen Master Joshu (J.G.)

Jimjamz questions: Where does this leave us? What does it mean that we will never single it out? Is this a call to responsibility everywhere, or nowhere? Who amongst us thinks they can single it out? What does that look like? What does it sound like?
