What may not be apparent to some readers is that Suzuki is saying
Zen
is not intellectual.
Theosophists go to Baskin Robbins to read magazines about ice
cream and form a discussion group to argue endlessly about what
ice cream must taste like to those few who
belong to the Great White Lodge of ice cream lovers and
incidentally
to identify "black magicians" who doubt they have it right.
Zen students go there to buy a cone and bite into it.
The Theosophist will invite you to a lecture about ice cream.
The Zen master will invite you to have a bite.

hah.I got a chuckle out of that.
But the writer never mentioned that H.P.B. gave EVERYONE many bites of the
Ancient ice cream cone.
What flavor do you like?
