If you have a gaining idea in your practice, that is not pure practice. So, whether or not you are aware of big mind, you should say “Thank you” for big mind. Big mind is always with you, so there is no need to seek for it. The only thing you should do is be grateful for big mind. That is actually our pure practice. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-18 - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
