Reflections on Hua Hu Ching

Fulfill what is yours to do
Words are signposts. Do not cling to them. Do not lose sight of your destination. You are consciousness in form. The awareness that is I AM.
In the world of separation is the whole of the all. The continuity and unity that is consciousness. It rests in all. It is all. You are the whole of the all. There is no other. This and that are perceptions of illusion. Do not flee into the abyss of unknowing. Do not ride on thoughts of ignorance and fear. They carry you like ponies into fields of pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. There you nurture desires and expectations in your struggle to avoid death and its oblivion. Give truly of yourself to all. This is loving-kindness. Loving-kindness does not know this and that. It has no desire. No expectation. It does not judge. Neither does it hope.
Do not deviate from twia. Walk the way of the path. In all things, twia knows the way. You cannot be lost. To come into your own power, enter the room within. Fulfill what is yours to do. It will come to you. Do nothing. Accept the river’s flow. Serve where needed. Extend loving-kindness in all situations. Remember, you are firmly planted in the ground of goodness.
Be humble and sincere in all that comes to you. Live simply. Avoid attachments. You are whole, complete, perfect in every way. Do not falter. You are I AM. Your light shines in the darkness of the room within. From within, twia guides your way. You are the whole of the all. With eyes that see, look upon the world in unity and grace toward all.
Do not offer the world your own confusion. You are not wise. Wisdom escapes you. The log in your eye blinds you. Accept all that comes to you. It is yours to do. The river flows in you. Let it carry you to the sea. Do not climb into the brambles along its banks. There you are stuck and torn. You cannot wander on land alone without suffering.
