you don't know

_________________

the cloud of unknowing figures,

listen but not listen.

mushin isn't a mind to know

free without concepts.

you can just detach

the mind nowhere


why do you struggle?

because the mind isn't yours.

too close you languish,

you don't realize.

the mind does

with nothing.

mind doesn't play with mind.

totally free

nothing to declare.

the quality of the mind

pristine purity

there is no method to get there.

what the mind does for itself nobody knows.

it doesn't stay or leave traces.

the mind freely does without owner.

mind and universe are one.

nothing to be found.

mind is the greatest

it gets around but not gets around.

like limpid sky.


mind spacious.

love and healing go together.

place trust and confidence in God.

chant and recite.

don't go anywhere or nowhere.

nothing to do.

do but not do.

let go and let God.

the mind gets its own way

greet for fun.

the mind sees that.

it is nowhere to be found.
