synopsis
Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutra
To live in the great way is neither easy nor difficult, but those with limited views are fearful and irresolute:
The faster they hurry, the slower they go, and clinging cannot be limited; even to be attached to the idea of enlightenment is to go astray.
Just let things be in their own way and there will be neither coming nor going.
Obey the nature of things (your own nature), and you will walk freely and undisturbed.
When thought is in bondage the truth is hidden, for everything is murky and unclear, and the burdensome practice of judging brings annoyance and weariness.
What benefit can be derived from distinctions and separations?
If you wish to move in the one way do not dislike even the world of senses and ideas.
Indeed, to accept them fully is identical with true enlightenment.
The wise man strives to no goals but the foolish man fetters himself.
There is one dharma, truth, law, not many; distinctions arise from the clinging needs of the ignorant.
To seek mind with the discriminating mind is the greatest of all mistakes.
