Double Construction

You can think, and thinking will help you, of course. But you should know, at the same time, that answers will not be definite. So you think, but you are free from thinking. To have what we call a double-edged blade. So double-edged: don't think and think. It works two ways. This is the double nature, the double construction of Buddhist philosophy: thinking construction and non-thinking construction. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-B - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
