Just as the ocean has waves or the sun has rays, so the
mind's own radiance is its thoughts and emotions. The ocean
has waves, yet the ocean is not particularly disturbed by them.
The waves are the very nature of the ocean. Waves will rise, but
where do they go? Back into the ocean. And where do the
waves come from? The ocean. In the same manner, thoughts
and emotions are the radiance and expression of the very nature
of the mind. They rise from the mind, but where do they dissolve?
Back into the mind. Whatever arises, do not see it as a
particular problem. If you do not impulsively react, if you are
only patient, it will once again settle into its essential nature.
