Your thoughts are immitations - You cannot think yourself into awakening

A Rock is suchness, the thought of a rock is suchness, but the rock you are thinking of is an immitation, an abstraction, a discrete categorization of the actual rock.

This is why to think about enlightenment does not enlighten you, your idea/thought of enlightenment doesn't quite grasp its suchness.
