He really shouldn't have made such a judgment about the situation before him at this time.
Because originally, there was a clear understanding of the problem deep within his heart.
It was just a kind of baseless doubt about the problem that came from not having a basis to confront the situation.
Later thoughts when he might just become very hard to find another clear and appropriate response to questions in such circumstances.
In the end, facing the problem could generate very good conditions, thus demonstrating an understanding.
The remaining understanding that may result could become, no longer needing any further problems, appearing to be a purer recognition of the issue.
Or perhaps understanding.
His very actions, therefore, become hard to generate any other appearance of more satisfying cognition.
Hence, creating those appearances of more accurate means of appropriate responses to the problem.
And what kind of good reflections or recognitions would that bring?
