Comment:
With self-centered grasping deep and heavy, prejudices are knitted into nets of fixed views. Insisting relentlessly, one is trapped in misery profound.
Causal conditions being insufficient, one calmly goes along with opportune chances. Mind is free from preferences, and yet in appearance one seems stubborn.
Having attachment is not worth recommending; being free from intentions one stops as situation requires. Only when one could be free from chasing after appearances, can one recognize the difference that is as far apart as cloud and mud.
