The mind which we will acquire or obtain by
our pure practice is something which is not graspable, which is
beyond our words. But at the same time, the mind will respond to everything. So
positively speaking, our mind is like a mirror which reflects various objects on
it. But when there is no object, the mirror is something which you cannot
even see. This is the mind we will obtain by our pure practice. --------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-06-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
