Life

Happiness cannot be found

through great effort and willpower.

But it is already present

in open relaxation and letting go.

Don't strain yourself

there is nothing to do or undo.

Whatever momentarily arises in the body and mind

has no real importance at all,

has little reality whatsoever.

Why identify with it,

and become attached to it,

passing judgemant upon it and ourselves?

Fore it is far better to simply

let the entire game happen on its own,

springing up and falling back like waves

without changing or manipulating anything.

And notice how everything vanishes and reappears

magically, time and time again, with out end.

Only our searching for happiness

prevents us from seeing it.

It's like a vivid rainbow

which you pursue without ever catching

or a dog chasing its tail.

Although peace and happiness do not exist

as an actual thing or place

it is always available.

And accompanies you every instant.

Don't believe in the reality

of good and bad experences

they are like today's ephemeral weather.

Like rainbows in the sky

wanting to grasp the ungraspable.

You will exhaust yourself in vain.

As soon as you open and relax

this tight fist of grasping

infinite space it is there.

Open, inviting, and comfortable.

Make use of this spaciousness.

Fore this is freedom and natural ease.

Don't search any further.

Don't go into the tangled jungle,

looking for the great awakened elephant

who is already resting quietly at home

in front of you own hearth.

Nothing to do or undo.

Nothing to force.

Nothing to want.

And nothing missing.

Everything happens by itself!
