If a sage knows, he is an ordinary man, and if a mortal knows, he is a saint!

It's from Zen master Yuanwu in Miyun, and the original text is as follows:

There are enough ordinary methods that ordinary people don't know. There are enough saints' laws, and saints don't know. If a saint knows, he is an ordinary man. Ordinary people are saints if they know it.

the law of a sufficient ordinary person is ordinary, but ordinary people don't know that they are ordinary people. What is an ordinary person? That is, people who are blinded by their own thoughts, experiences, ideas and opinions, including those who think they are enlightened, but in fact they are just ordinary people.

A full-fledged saint is a saint, but a saint does not think that he has gained anything, let alone that he has attained enlightenment. Because a true saint gets nothing when he gains the Tao, that's all. (even this is a bad thing! Because saints forget their own way)

If saints cling to their own way, they are not saints, but ordinary people who are still covered by their own thoughts (self-righteous way).

an ordinary man is a saint if he knows why he is an ordinary man. All saints are different only between light and shade.
