If we return it means to be beyond our conscious world or even pure conscious world. We say we
return: Return means to go home. Our home is in pure consciousness or unconscious world. That is our home. And our everyday
activity in conscious world means to go out of it and to work on
outside [laughs]. So to return means to go back to pure consciousness
or direct experience. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-12-17a speaking on Dogen's Gakudo-yojin-shu as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
