This 'real' nature with whose revelation the Chan Masters are primarily
concerned, or the Atman-'I' of the Vedantists, is not the far-off, unreachable
will-o'-the-wisp we are apt to imagine, but just the within of which we know
the without. It is just the other side of the medal, and it lies wherever our
senses and our intellect cease to function.
