Mind has no form, no color, and no substance; this is its empty
aspect. Yet mind can know things and percieve an infinite variety
of phenomena. This is its clear aspect. The inseperability of these
two aspects, emptiness and clarity, is the primordial, continuous
nature of mind.
At present, the natural clarity of your mind is obscured by
delusions. But as the obscuration clears you will begin to uncover
the radiance of awareness, until you reach a point where, just as a
line traced on water disappears the moment it is made, your
thoughts are liberated the moment they arise. To experience mind in
this way is to encounter the very source of Buddhahood.
When the nature of mind is recognized, that is called nirvana;
when it is obscured by delusion that is called samsara. Yet neither
samsara nor nirvana have ever parted from the continuum of the
absolute.When awareness reaches its full extent, the ramparts of
delusion will have been breached and the citadel of the absolute,
beyond meditation, can be seized once and for all.
