"The world is its own magic." -- Shunryu Suzuki, Roshi
Nevertheless, this mind does become disturbed
By the defilement of momentary thoughts.
Like water, like gold, like the sky,
It may be either pure or impure.
But the naturally luminous mind
Is free from even a hair-tip of concrete substance,
Like the analogy of a sky flower.
It does not exist as it seems to be,
Therefore, it cannot be established to be nonexistent.
As everything is mutually dependent,
When one side is invalid, the other side also does not exist.
Mind is neither existent nor nonexistent,
Since each of these [constructs] is negated.
It is also not both,
Since existing and not existing are a contradiction.
It is not a living being
Nor other than living beings.
- Songs of Naropa, trans. by Thrangu Rinpoche, Pg. 13
