"As we begin like a hatching chick to break out of our customary descriptions, explanations, and evaluations—out of all our "comprehension"—of our acts and lives, and as we then begin to discern and abide within their action's mystery, we might be said to have "progressed" beyond the assumptions and habits which led us earlier to construct a remote dualistically conceived ideal of mystical action. That advance is twofold.
First, our awareness is no longer contained and shaped by the intellect's distinction between the perfect and imperfect act, and between the novice—that is, we ourselves—and those masters who, having reached the highest summit of the path, flawlessly realize there the ideal of spontaneous mystical action. For now acts are not "perfect" or "imperfect," not "flawless" or "clumsy," not "this" or "that." Now all verbal distinctions are swallowed up in the pure mystery of the act, of the finally unnameable event both you and I right now are.
Second, we have now begun to realize that the "mystical" quality of action is not a supreme skill or mastery to be achieved. For "the mystical" is already present in all action, and so our seeking to acquire it is an attempt to duplicate—superfluously—what is already there. Instead of seeking to achieve the mystical act, we need only become alert to the mystery which already pervades all our acts, just as we awakened earlier to the mystical quality of the fact that the world is. To be journeying on the way of unknowing, to lose oneself in recollection, to move a ladder or pick up a brush—all are, first of all, a great mystery. "How wondrous this," exclaims P'ang Chü-shih, "how mysterious! I carry fuel, I draw water."
