Question
Could you please tell me why Nyojo replied to Dogen, "Datsu raku shin jin (drop body and mind again)," when Dogen had just told him, "Shin jin datsu raku (I have dropped body and mind)"?
Respectfully, thank you.

We must constantly, endlessly, drop body and mind, go beyond, beyond the beyond.
