One day Chungwon said to Sukdo, “People say that there is enlightenment.” Sukdo said, “There is one who doesn’t say that there is enlightenment.” Chungwon said, “Who is it?” Sukdo answered, “Not only all the Sutras but also everything comes out from him.”
Student: “Who is the one that all the Sutras and everything come out from?”
Master: “Everything is coming out from him now.”

Commentary:
He is always in sight, but invisible when you look for him.
