In this text the author (Padma-Sambhava) faithfully recorded his own experiences according to his abilities.
To one who tasted honey, it is superfluous for those who have not tasted it to offer an explanation of its taste.
If scholars or pundits talk about the ONE Awareness without ever having
experienced it, they talk nonsense, despite all their cleverness in
expounding the many different doctrinal systems.
To lend ear
- even for a moment - to the reports of one who never approached nor
perceived the Great Awareness, is like listening to flying rumours
concerning a distant place that never was visited.
Simultaneous with the first experience of the Exalted Awareness comes release from good and evil.
As long as the Great Awareness is not known, all practice of good and
evil results in nothing more than renewed incarnation in higher or
nether regions, or the material world.
As soon as we become aware of the Wisdom of the Unmanifested, concepts like good and evil karma cease to exist.
Even as the empty sky seems to contain a source of water (rain), but does not, so also in the Exalted Awareness is neither good nor evil.
When in our mind we see the Origin – unmanifested Awareness - in all
its nakedness, in all its clarity, we realize this path to liberation
to be exceedingly profound.
Seek, therefore, thine own Great Wisdom within.
What you'll find there is vast and deep.
