Those who realize Zen enlightenment transcend subject and object. There is no other mysterious principle besides this.
In the course of ordinary daily activities, when you see colors it is a time of realization, and when you hear sounds it is a time of realization. When you eat and drink, this too is a time of realization. This means all these are times of realization when you transcend subject and object in everything.
This is not a matter of long practice, and doesn't need cultivation. It is right here, yet worldly people don't recognize it.
So it is said, "Only with experiential realization do you know the unfathomable."
