5.42

"Without cause, I aroused views and understanding, / Clinging to marks and seeking bodhi.
With feelings retaining a single thought of awakening, / How could I surpass former delusions?
The self-nature is the substance of awakening's source; / Following illumination, it uselessly drifted.
Had I not entered the Patriarch's room, / I would be bewildered, running toward the two extremes."
