二０二 極 限
大師一再強調：尋求天主的道上，最後一道障礙卽是「天主」這個字及其槪念。
當地的祭司聽了，十分惱怒，怒氣沖沖地跑來與大師理論。
「『天主』這個字當然能引導人到天主前。」祭司說。
「它確實能夠。」大師平靜地應和着。
「旣然能夠，怎麼又會是障礙呢？」
大師說：「驢子只能將你載到門口，却不能帶你進入內室啊！」
INCOMPETENCE
The Master would insist that the final barrier to our attaining God was the word and
concept ‘God ‘.
This so infuriated the local priest that he came in a huff to argue the matter out with
the Master.
“But surely the word ‘God’ can lead us to God?” said the priest.
“It can.” said the Master calmly.
“How can something help and be a barrier?”
Said the Master, “The donkey that brings you to the door is not the means by which
you enter the house.”
