“Let the mind simply rest in its own state. It is clear of itself.”
Mipham
To the card
The two preceding lines say not to interfere, neither with the thought “I will maintain the mind” nor with the thought “I will not maintain it.” The passage belongs to a Dzogchen instruction and is not merely a task of concentration.
