Firstfold emptying: subjective universal/individual agency
You think that you liberate
play of luminous form
from "who/what/where/when/how/why" cage
you have yourself created...
But luminous form...
Luminous form
Does not appear on it's own
Does not abide on it's own
Does not cease on it's own
Luminous form
Does not alternate between absence and presence
Neither by it's own power
Nor by power of another luminous form
Does it switch from absence to presence
And again from presence to absence
How could luminous form be pinned down?
How could "it" arise?
How could "it" abide?
How could "it" cease?
By cutting branches
but leaving root in tact
you will never realize suchness
you ignorant fool!
You might have
realized that "seer seeing seen" is mistake
and have seen through
agent and his action
But isn't expression
"it appears here and now"
exactly same mistake
you are repeating again?
You have taken out your hands out of dirt
But why do still you stand on two legs in it?
You might have
seen through universal and individual agent
but now why do you make
infinite agents as infinite luminous forms?
For luminous form
to alternate between presence and absence
to appear or disappear
is to pin down luminous form as agent who does something
Free yourself from
the seer who sees
Free yourself from
it that appears
Again and again
look at your mind
See that time and space
Are also dreams dependent
on your three-fold dream
of subject, action and object!
