“Followers of the Way, this thing called mind has no fixed form; it penetrates all the ten directions. In the eye we call it sight, in the ear we call it hearing; in the nose it detects odors, in the mouth it speaks discourses; in the hand it grasps, in the feet it runs along. Basically it is a single bright essence, but it divides itself into these six functions.” -linjii (I think)
This thing called mind has no fixed form.. meaning there is no one, no personality to be made out of these senses; no fixed form.
What linjii here is saying is that there is no fixed form or personality that can be found in this thing called mind
The feelings that are registered when I touch a bowl of rice and see the visual of the bowl and taste and smell the food, those sensations are not differentiatable between a "you" and "i" it permeates us... This mind has no fixed form, personality , identity..
