Don't abide in duality and take care not to seek, for as soon as there is yes and no the mind is lost in confusion. Two comes forth from one, but don't even hold the one, for when even the one mind is unborn, the myriad things are flawless, without flaws, without things. With no birth, no mind, function is lost to conditions, conditions persist in function, conditions arise from function, function is actualized from conditions. You should know that duality is originally one with emptiness, and one emptiness unifies duality, encompassing the myriad forms. Not perceiving refined or vulgar, is there any prejudice? The Great Way is vast, with neither ease nor difficulty. If you have biased views and doubts, and move too fast or slow, grasping the world without measure, then your mind has taken a wayward path. Let it all naturally drop away and embody no coming or going. In accord with your fundamental nature, unite with the Way and wander the world without cares.
Being tied by thought runs counter to Truth, but sinking into a daze is not good. Don't belabor the spirit. Why adhere to intimate or distant? If you want to experience the one vehicle, don't malign the senses, for when the senses are not maligned, that itself is perfect awakening. The wise do not move, but the ignorant bind themselves. Though one Dharma differs not from another, the deluded self desires each, objectifying the mind to realize mind. Is this not a great error? Delusion gives rise to quietness or chaos, but enlightenment has no positive and negative. The duality of existence is born from false discrimination, flourishing dreams, and empty illusions. Why try to grab them? Gain and loss, true and false: drop them all in one moment. If the eyes don't sleep, all dreams disappear. If the mind does not go astray, the myriad Dharmas are but One, and the One encompasses the Mystery.
