Equality and Seven Things to Forget
When I realize everything’s equality
I forget all about my close friends and my relatives
It’s okay to forget the objects of your attachment
When I realize wisdom beyond thought
I forget everything included in perceiver and perceived
It’s okay to forget these causes of happiness and pain
Beyond memory, beyond feelings
I forget all about experiences, the good ones and the bad
It’s okay to forget them, they just go up and down
When I know the three kayas are present naturally
I forget all about the deity’s generation stage practice
It’s okay to forget the Dharma made of concepts
When I realize the result’s inside of me
I forget all about the results you have to strive and strain to get
It’s okay to forget the Dharma of the relative truth
Meditating on the key instructions
I forget all other explanations and their conventional terms
It’s okay to forget the Dharma that makes you arrogant
When I realize appearances are my texts
I forget all about those big books with their letters in black
It’s okay to forget the Dharma that’s just a heavy load
