The sutra
On one occasion, a monk asked Isan about the need for cultivation of one's spiritual life after enlightenment. Isan responded that it was needed because of the "inertia of habit." He then went on to say:
"What you hear must first be accepted by your reason; and when your rational understanding is deepened and subtilized in an ineffable way, your mind will, of its own spontaneity, become comprehensive and bright, never to relapse into the state of doubt and delusion. However numerous and various the subtle teachings are, you know intuitively how to apply them -- in accordance with the occasion.
In this way only will you be qualified to sit in the chair and wear your robe as a master of the true art of living. To sum up, it is of primary importance to know that ultimate reality, or the bedrock of reason, does not admit of a single speck of dust, while in innumerable doors and paths of action not a single law or thing is to be abandoned."


Question 1
Our Beloved Master, is there any relation between awareness and the instinctive alertness man once had to rely on for his survival?
