Name and form hide Reality: This is the Teaching.


Giving name and form is an obstacle to Freedom

because then the Substratum, Consciousness, cannot be seen.

Call it a statue of a horse and the granite is hidden;

see a ring and you won’t see the gold.

Before a wave rises it is Ocean;

before desire moves it is Emptiness.

Destroy craving and bondage

by identifying as Experiencing, not experience;

as Seeing , not as seer.

You are Consciousness,

not one who is conscious
