SHIN JIN MEI | 信心銘- DAY THIRTY-SEVEN

"What is, is the same as what is not,
What is not is the same as what is:
Where this state of things fails to obtain,
Indeed, no tarrying there."

In the Absolute - what is is the same as what is not - as everything is reflected in everything else. Being and no-being are both upended. There is no distinction of any kind, because it is without picking and choosing.

Where this understanding is not present, on the dualistic plane, we should not grasp firmly or dwell. Just let the labels go by and watch in wonder.
