Notes from Wikiquote

For when the mind is empty | it stands continuously in expectation | what contemplation will dawn for it. | Whoever disputes concerning this | not only leads others astray | but he himself has turned aside from the path | without being aware of it | he is chasing after a shadow | in the imaginations of his intellect! | 3.1.29, p. 76
