La mente che non è legata a nulla

Del viandante si può affermare questo, attraverso le parole di Nishitani: «La mente di chi abita nel nulla è una mente che non è legata a nulla. Ciò non significa altro che questo: la mente torna alla sua fonte originaria».31 Lo stesso Basho sostiene che la composizione di un haiku deriva dai momenti di non riflessione, che sono i più vissuti e sentiti. Solo chi risiede nell’originario può mettere tra parentesi il mentale (kokoro).
