+The realization of the nature of the mind is not something we can find by
+searching for it from afar.  It is present within the essence of the mind
+itself.  If we do not alter or change that in any way, that is enough.  It is
+not as if we were lacking something before, so we need to make something new
+through our meditation.  It is not as if we are bad and have to go through all
+sorts of efforts to make ourselves good.  Goodness is something we all have.
+It has always been with us, but we have just not looked for it or seen it yet,
+so we have become confused.  Therefore all we need to do is to just rest
+within it without changing it.  We see where it stays and rest there, so we
+are like a kusulu.  This means that we rest free and easy with nothing to do,
+very simply.  We do not need to think that we are making something good or
+that we need to meditate properly.  It is enough just to know what we already
+have.
