Semantics tells us that to define is to lim it. It is thus easy to see that the Zen (not being limited by concepts) experience cannot be comprehended by the limitation involved in definition. The experience of Zen is beyond words and so is also beyond intellectual understanding or verbal communication. If one is to comprehend Zen, a "new" non-verbal world will be unveiled.
