Whether your mind is still or whether it moves,
Whatever state it happens to be in,
In essence, it is an unidentifiable freshness,
That has neither color, shape, nor attributes.
And yet, its unobstructed knowing is wide awake.

Whatever thought unfolds, whether good or evil,
It is an utter openess, made out of nothing concrete.
In any of the six sense impressions, whatever is experienced,
It is totally insubstantial, with no clinging to solidity.

Without sinking into dull mindlesness,
It is utter brilliance, aware and awake.
To recognize the natural face of this ordinary mind,
Uncorrupted by the meditation-moods of bliss, clarity and emptiness,
Is known as vipashyana, clear seeing.
Unanimouosly this is the very heart
Of Mahamudra, the Middle Way, Pacifying, and Cutting,
So simply recognize that alone!
