enlighten me...pls explain
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).

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.

Re: enlighten me...pls explain
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 |

Re: enlighten me...pls explain
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...
