+With regard to one’s behavior, one must relinquish all the limitations
+implied in subject-object duality (gzung ’dzin gyi la dor ba).  One should
+abandon all ordinary ways of assessing outer and inner phenomena, and the
+engagement or withdrawal of the mind with regard to “good” and “bad.”
+One must not, through mindless clinging to sense objects, stray into the five
+ordinary mental poisons.  For when approached with skillful means, all are but
+the display of the great and perfect equality.
