"The man who works according to Zen becomes ever more indifferent to his actions, to his imaginations, to his sentiments; for all that is precisely the formal machinery with which he is obliged to share his energy. This man can work inwardly all day...without this work comprising the slightest spiritual 'exercise,' the least intentional discriminative reflection, the slightest rule of moral conduct, the least trouble to do 'good.' Turning his back on the visible and its phantoms, fair or ugly, he accumulates in the invisible the charge of energy which will one day blow up in him all the 'cave of phantoms,' and will open to him thus the real plenitude of his daily life."
--Hubert Benoit, Zen and the Psychology of Transformation: The Supreme Doctrine
