Jianzhi Sengcan - The Great Way

The Great Way is not difficult for those not attached to preferences.
 If you wish to know the truth, then hold to no opinions for or against anything. 
To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind.

When the fundamental nature of things is not recognized, 
the mind's essential peace is disturbed to no avail. 
The Way is perfect as vast space is perfect, 
where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess.

Indeed, it is due to our grasping and rejecting 
that we do not know the true nature of things. 
Live neither in the entanglements of outer things, 
nor in ideas or feelings of emptiness. 
Be serene and at one with things 
and erroneous views will disappear by themselves.

It has been suggested that mind must be destroyed for liberation to occur.Do you have a mind?

Sri Ramana used the term -manonasha-to describe the state of liberation, meaning destroyed mind.

How to destroy the mind?

'

'That inner Self, as the primeval Spirit, 

Eternal, ever effulgent, full and infinite Bliss, 

Single, indivisible, whole and living, 

Shines in everyone as the witnessing awareness. 

That self in its splendour, shining in the cavity of the heart 

This self is neither born nor dies, 

Neither grows nor decays, 

Nor does it suffer any change. 

When a pot is broken, the space within it is not, 

And similarly, when the body dies the Self in it remains eternal."

“Doctrines, processes and progressive paths which seek enlightenment only exacerbate the problem they address by reinforcing the idea that the apparent self can find something it presumes it has lost. It is that very effort, that investment in self-identity, that continuously recreates the illusion of separation from oneness. This is the veil which we believe exists. It is the dream of individuality.”

Sri Ramana Maharshi-a few quotes.

Sri Bhagavan said to Lady Bateman: There is a fixed state; sleep , dream and waking states are mere movements in it. They are like pictures moving on the screen in a cinema show. Everyone sees the screen as well as the pictures but ignores the screen and takes in the pictures alone. The Jnani however considers only the screen and not the pictures. The pictures certainly move on the screen yet do not affect it. The screen itself does not move but remains stationary. Similarly, a person travels in a train and thinks that he moves. Really speaking he sits and reposes in his seat, and it is the train which is steaming fast. He however superimposes the motion of the train on himself because he has identified himself with the body. He says, "I have passed one station - now another - yet another - and so on". A little consideration will show that he sits unmoved and the stations run past him. But that does not prevent him from saying that he has travelled all the way as if he exerted himself to move every foot of the way. The Jnani is fully aware that the true state of Being remains fixed and stationary and that all actions go on around him. His nature does not change and his state is not affected in the least. He looks on everything with unconcern and remains blissful himself. His is the true state and also the primal and natural state of being. When once the man reaches it he gets fixed there. Fixed once, fixed ever he will be.
