Relying On mind
The supreme Way is not difficult;
it just precludes picking and choosing.
Without yearning or loathing,
the Way is perfectly apparent,
while even a hairbreadth difference
separates heaven and earth.
To see the Way with our own eyes,
quit agreeing and disagreeing.
The battling of likes and dislikes-
that's the disease of the mind.
Misunderstanding the great mystery,
people labor in vain for peace.
Mind has the totality of space;
nothing lacking, nothing nothing extra.
It's just selecting and rejecting
that may make it otherwise.
Don't pursue worldly concerns,
don't dwell passively in emptiness;
in the peace of absolute identity,
confusion vanishes by itself.
Suppressing activity to reach stillness
just creates agitation.
Dwelling in such dualities,
how can you know identity?
people who don't know identity
bog down on both sides-
rejecting form, they get stuck in it.
