Each of the myriad things has its merit,
expressed according to function and place.
Phenomena exist; box and lid fit.
Principle responds; arrow points meet.
Hearing the words, understand the meaning;
don’t set up standards of your own.
If you don’t understand the Way right before you,
how will you know the path as you walk?
Progress is not a matter of far or near,
but if you are confused, mountains and rivers block your way.
I respectfully urge you who study the mystery,
do not pass your days and nights in vain.

Do you have to understand a path before you walk it? I think not. It is in the walking down that path and traveling through the experience’s that understanding comes isn’t it?

@Mark Honestly, I don’t think you can EVER understand the path. Walking is all you can do.
You make it sound like a job.:) For me because of the infection in my knee it is a job. But isn’t the path that we walk, if nothing else, interesting? I honestly wouldn’t have in any other way than the way it is.
