A monastic requested Grasp Boja, “When stillness comes into being, knowledge is blocked, and when considering adjustments, the true-Self is modified. How is it earlier than stillness comes into being?” The grasp answered, “Blocked.” The monastic stated, “What blocks when stillness has not come into being but?” The grasp stated, “You’ve not met the person.”
Pupil: “Why is knowledge blocked when stillness comes into being?”
Grasp: “What comes into being, or doesn’t isn’t stillness however an phantasm.”
Commentary:
Stillness is true stillness when it isn’t a phrase.
