Nope.  But I may not be understanding you either.

Being "interested" in the ultimate Truth is fine.  But is the ultimate
truly separate from the relative?  Are illusion and reality two?

Yung Chia's SONG OF ENLIGHTENMENT has a verse that goes something like:

The only way to discover the real is through the unreal.
