“To live in the Great Way is neither easy nor difficult, but those with limited views are fearful and irresolute: the faster they hurry, the slower they go, and clinging cannot be limited: even to be attached to the idea of enlightenment is to go astray. Just let things be in their own way and there will be neither coming nor going. Obey the nature of things (your own nature), and you will walk freely and undisturbed.”

“This hill, though high, I covet to ascend; The difficulty will not me offend. For I perceive the way to life lies here. Come, pluck up, heart; let's neither faint nor fear. Better, though difficult, the right way to go, Than wrong, though easy, where the end is woe.”

“But you neither friend nor foe, though I can't seem to let you go, the one thing that I still know is that your keeping me DOWN!”

“pure mind is like the empty sky,without memory, supreme meditation;it is our own nature, unstirring, uncontrived,and wherever that abides is the superior mind,one in buddhahood without any sign,one in view free of limiting elaboration,one in meditation free of limiting ideation,one in conduct free of limiting endeavor,and one in fruition free of limiting attainment.vast! spacious!released as it stands!with neither realization nor non-realization;experience consummate! no mind!it is open to infinity.”

“Every thing was to take its natural course, however, neither impelled nor assisted.”

“Defiance, Catherine, is a gift of God, who is superior to nature. When nature comes to get you, honor God by treating it, as he would, with neither fear nor respect.”
