In brief, the basic cause of everything is nothing but your present natural awareness.  Therefore the sublime key point is to continuously maintain your natural awareness throughout the day and night without any separation.

As for all the thoughts that do occur as the expression of this natural awareness, be they gross or subtle, don’t analyze them and don’t follow them either.  Don’t try to bring them back into your meditation or obstruct them.  If you succeed in simply recognizing the sudden occurrence of a thought, then let be in just that.

When it happens that you do get involved in thoughts that recollect the past or entertain the future, then let be directly in awareness.  If a thought pattern continues, there is no need for a separate antidote since whatever takes place is liberated by itself.  What occurs spontaneously is the radiance of your own mind.  To see it with vivid clarity is the essential instruction!
