Holy mind is not like a storm or sea [laughs].
If I say “holy mind,” you will ask me where is it? [Laughs.] What is the shape
of the holy mind? What does it looks like? How do you find it?
[Laughs.] But you cannot find it, because it is not material. Intellectually you cannot discuss it. The only way is, you
know, to catch it in the realm of duality [laughs]. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-08-18-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
