6.16

Empty and without trace, its illumination is not sense-dust. Light penetrates quiet depths, utterly clear of blemish or taint. If you can know it of yourself like this and understand it of yourself like this, the pure, wondrously luminous ground is what was originally possessed. That for many lifetimes one has not understood it is merely because doubts, obstructions, darkness, and cataracts have of themselves created barriers. Vastly wandering in wisdom, inwardly forget merit and achievement; directly cast off burdens, turn your body, and take your place. Borrow the path to step forward; the numinous mechanism wondrously moves, and every encounter with things is real. There is not the slightest hair or dust that is a thing coming from outside.
