Truly seeing is not seeing what is seen, but seeing what is not seen. Truly knowing is not knowing what is known, but knowing what is not known.
Student: “What is it to know what is not known?”
Master: “It is to know that the sun is round.”
Student: “That is to know what is known. I know it, too. What is not known?”
Master: “The sun is cubic.”
Commentary:
What is known is just a tiny part of what is unknown.
