This philosophy does not come within the range of any recognized system. This is because it refutes all standpoints including those which it adopts itself temporarily as a means of leading the student higher. And when no other view is left for examination and attack it says, "Truth itself is beyond thought and speech, but the way to it embraces them." Reality itself is beyond touch and ideation but the way to it can be pointed out. You must eliminate from the definitions of both truth and reality everything which might mislead you to regard concepts as the final goal. Just as a man may use one thorn to pick another from his flesh and then throw both away, so you must use right concepts to remove erroneous ones. Finally you must discard them all.
