To the Technique of Tsurugi,
Neither brush nor word of mouth can render due service.
Saying nothing you must go forth
And so must you know (satori).

It looks to me like a simple verse -- You will come to understand through practice. In gassho

only you can understand it... i can tell you all about water, but your mouth will not get wet nor your thirst be quenched...

Those who know do not speak, those who speak do not know.

If he holds up a flower, laugh.
If he silently just sits facing a wall, cut off a body part and throw it at him.
To find the answer, drop the question.
Beware the kyosaku stick.
KWATZ!

It's an anagram - arrange the letters and you can find a rude joke

a flea and a fly in a flue
were imprisoned, so what could they do?
said the fly "let us flee!"
"let us fly!" said the flea
so they flew through a flaw in the flue :D

Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

there is no path to know or walk... it is all illusion...

the gist is that you cannot explain it or have it explained to you by words... you must discover the meaning of aikido or anything else for yourself... this is satori...
