Be totally confused!

In the last verse in one of Gampopa’s prayers he states:
“May confusion dawn as wisdom.”
That, in a nutshell, is the Buddha’s teaching on the two truths!

Our present state of mind is confusion about our true nature.
Upon investigating that confusion, we discover its true nature – wisdom.

This is because we suddenly realise that that which is investigating
the confusion is the light of wisdom itself.

There you have it.

“But…but…there is still confusion!”
Ah, that is only a residue from the past, caught up in our subtle body
– our feelings – and in our minds – our fixations.
Confusion will come, and we practise letting it go.

There you have it.

“But…but…stuff is still happing to me!”
Ah, that is the playing out of our past karma – the effects of our actions.
In not reacting, our karma is exhausted.

There you have it.

“But…but… I like it all the way it is…all is well!”
Ah, then you are not totally confused yet 🙂

Just so you’re not confused 😉
“totally confused” refers to not holding onto any cosy concepts whatsoever.
