Wanting to grasp the ungraspable,
you exhaust yourself in vain.
As soon as you open and relax
this tight fist of grasping,
infinite space is there –
open, inviting and comfortable. […]
Nothing to do or undo.
Nothing to force,
nothing to want
and nothing missing.
Emaho! Marvellous!
Everything happens by itself.
~ Lama Guendun Rinpoche, excerpts from Free and Easy
