When your mind is caught by recollection, it is seen.
Don’t introduce the intellect’s alterations. Leave it as it is.
If the doubt “Is this it or not?” arises, rest in that.
If the resolution “It is” arises, rest in it.
If the dissatisfied thought “It isn’t” arises, let it go.
Whatever happens, be content with naked ordinariness.
Meditate on devotion for your guru and compassion for beings.
Dechen Barway Dorje wrote this to remind Karma Jangchup.
