When you gaze into the sky,
Seeing stops.
Likewise, when mind looks at mind,
The flow of thinking stops and you come to the deepest awakening.

The darkness of a thousand eons cannot dim
The brilliant radiance that is the essence of the sun.
Likewise, eons of samsara cannot dim
The sheer clarity that is the essence of your mind.
