1) I didn’t quite hear you.
2) Probably just let it go at that, but…
3) …this just further complicates the matter.
4) Are we speaking about the unspeakable or not speaking about anything at all?

Mumon’s comment: A simple verbal misunderstanding which becomes a discussion of the great ultimate. What is no thing and where can I find it, and how much of it at that? Neither of us can say anything at all on this matter. And yet we both speak of it constantly. There is a thorny tree in the garden – I have yet to see it and you haven’t either.
