Karmic outflows (in Sanskrit, asrava) from the actions of ordinary men manifest as their passions, wants, sufferings, and sorrows. They arise because the true nature has been lost sight of. But however free of these one may become, if one now leans on one's understanding, one has only replaced delusion with enlightenment~and that is nor the Way. One genuinely enlightened is free of both delusion and enlightenment.
---Roshi Soko Morinaga, in his commentary on The Ceasing of Notions---
