"The clouds that wander through the sky have no roots, no home,
Nor do the distinctive thoughts floating through the mind.
Once the Self-mind is seen, Discrimination stops.
In space, shapes and colors form
But neither by black nor white is space tinged.
From the Self-mind all things emerge;
The Mind by virtues and by vices is not stained.
The darkness of ages cannot shroud the glowing sun;
The long eons of Samsara ne'er can hide the Mind's brilliant light.
Though words are spoken to explain the Void, the Void as such can never be
expressed. Though we say 'the Mind is a bright light,' it is beyond all words and
symbols. Although the Mind is void in essence, all things it embraces and contains."
from The Song of Mahamudra, Tilopa
Quoting: syncro [ link to youtu.be (secure)] Goodness, I never realized that song was addressing a lover who took their own life. And who has not approached that precipice at some point? And many of us went instead to the realization in our own way, the intelligent suicide of self-ignorance (meditative work), the realization of mind-essence, the spiritual, through the various paths. Good morning. Nicely said.
