Idée d’jour

Just as a whirlwind roaring down a valley leaves nothing behind it, so the ear is to have nothing to do with right and wrong. Just as the moon only reflects its light in a pool, so the mind, empty and unattached, does not know itself and the outside world as two things.
— from The Gospel of Zen, Robert Sohl and Audrey Carr, © 1970, Signet, p. 108
