' The Great Way '...

"The Great Way is effortless for those who live in choiceless awareness.

To choose without preference is to be clear.

"Even the slightest personal preference and your whole world becomes divided.

To perceive reality as it is is to live with an open mind.

When the lens you look through reflects your personal bias, your view of reality is clouded.

Truth simply is, the clouded mind cannot know it."
