6.41
The primordial origin is calm and without form, moving and having responses. You must see thoroughly through it: solitary and steep, exposed and manifest, singularly spiritual, clear and distinct, not yet bearing a single speck of external conditioning—this is called the season of solitary brightness. As for emerging and submerging together with the myriad phenomena, the place where the samādhis of the various dusts arise: pure as the ocean-seal, turning like a pearl in a bowl, distinctly pervading all, firmly set without disparate conditions—this can be called the season of solitary illumination without bias. The night moon comes out and the water is bright; the spring wind blows and the flowers bloom. Without relying on effort, naturally and completely equipped. Causes and conditions, fruits and retributions—amid them there is nothing extra. You must further know: when light and realm are both forgotten, what is it then?
