Here the translation says “mysterious.” Mysterious means it is beyond words. You can understand it, but you cannot put it in words because it is not possible to say various understandings from all angles. If you say from one side, you cannot say, at the same time, from the other side. That is why we say “mysterious.” So, even enlightened masters cannot say anything properly. — Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-02 - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
