Devotion is the essence of the path, and if we have in mind nothing but the guru and feel nothing but fervent devotion, whatever occurs is perceived as his blessing. If we simply practice with this constantly present devotion, this is prayer itself. When all thoughts are imbued with devotion to the guru, there is a natural confidence that this will take care of whatever may happen. All forms are the guru, all sounds are prayer, and all gross and subtle thoughts arise as devotion. Everything is spontaneously liberated in the absolute nature, like knots untied in the sky.
When sunlight falls on a crystal, lights of all colors of the rainbow appear; yet they have no substance that you can grasp. Likewise, all thoughts in their infinite variety are utterly without substance.

If you vanquish ego-clinging today, tonight you will be enlightened.
May the suffering of all beings be pacified.
...with the power of compassion there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.

It’s never too early or too late to benefit beings.
Like a robe wears out over time and turns to rags, life wears out from day to day, from second to second.
