Unclear Thinking Requires More Samadhi Cultivation

If one's thought processes are not clear enough, it indicates a lack of Zen meditation; one should cultivate more meditation to clarify their thinking. When concentration is insufficient, conscious thought cannot follow a single main thread, leading to scattered attention and a lack of focus. This is akin to the channels of energy not flowing along a single line but instead scattering chaotically throughout the body. A person with strong logical thinking relies on powerful concentration to achieve single-pointed focus, like an awl piercing deeply into one point. Someone without concentration is like a wooden plank lying flat on the ground, leaving no trace.
