Those who see worldly life as an obstacle to Dharma see no Dharma in everyday actions. They have not yet discovered that there are no everyday actions outside of Dharma.

What you think in your own mind to be good, or what people of the world think is good, is not necessarily good.

Since we are provided with both a body and a mind, we grasp onto the physical forms we see. Since we are provided with both a body and a mind, we cling to the sounds we hear. As a consequence, we make ourselves inseparable from all things, yet we are not like some shadowy figure 'lodging' in a mirror or like the moon in water. Whenever we witness what is on the one side, its opposite side will be in darkness.

People like what is not true and they don't like what is true.

Yet, though it is like this, simply, flowers fall amid our longing and weeds spring up amid our antipathy.
