Chapter Three : Practice 21

Yi Ch’ŏngch’un asked,
“Does the mind of a great person of the Way have any attachments?”
The Founding Master said,
“If the mind has attachments, then one is not a person of the Way.”
Ch’ŏngch’un asked again,
“Even Chŏngsan loves his children. Doesn’t that mean his mind is attached?”
The Founding Master said,
“Would Ch’ŏngch’un call insentient wood and rocks persons of the Way? ‘Attachment’ means that someone is so attached that he cannot bear to leave another person behind, or he so wants to see that person when separated that he cannot proceed with his own practice or public service. That doesn’t happen to Chŏngsan.”
