“When you attain non-attainment, you attain Mahāmudrā.”
Tilopa
To the card
The preceding lines of the section call for letting go of attraction and aversion, for withdrawal, and for abiding in non-meditation. The short verse is not a general promise that any kind of doing nothing realizes Mahāmudrā. The paradoxical language of attainment is deliberately kept visible.
