If There is Mind Even in the Most Minutest Sense

In self-arising wisdom, there only spontaneous presence and natural perfection; but,

if we r still in a state of mind (relative) even in the minutest sense and sprouting glamorously "no practice, no path and no result" that is just deluding oneself into self-perfection.

If there is mind even in the most minutest sense, there will be knowing, there will be apprehension, there will be grasping and there will be division. Hence everything originates in dependence, everything is empty;

And as long as there is mind,

"Self" and "otherness" originate in dependence -- that is self-perfecting;

View, path and result originate in dependence -- that is self-perfecting;

Cause and effect originate in dependence -- that is self-perfecting;
