Tangen-roshi says, of course, great roots don't just pop up out in front of your face. Roots, this great first principle run deep, through and through, just grasping the branches and the flowers. That's not making this true whole step, just grasping at the branches and deciding, well, everything is Buddha nature, I accept and feel really comfortable with it. So there is really no need to practice. Is there huatou? It's very easy for even the sincerest practitioner to fall into this. This kind of arrogance is like the roots breaking out of the soil to rot. Of course, True life is unbridgeable, but you aren't allowing it to grow up. It doesn't stretch out and up with every energy by itself. You have to practice it, the roots of great faith, the reality of Buddha nature.
