The Gatha of Surrender

I will let my inner experiences arise.

I will rest without making efforts.

I will leave my mind as a brilliant radiance, like the sun free from clouds.

I will let my mind's vivid cognition be free of clinging.

I will be like a young child looking inside a temple.

I will let my mind rest in serene, vast calmness, like an ocean free of waves.

I will let thoughts vanish without a trace, like a bird's flight that leaves no trace in the sky.

An experience of bliss will arise, inexpressible.

I will not have any attachment toward whichever experience arises—bliss, clarity, or no-thought.

I will simply allow it to remain in its vividness.

If I preserve the natural state of my mind in this way, at the moment of death I will be liberated.

I will not forget this advice, but keep it in the core of my heart.
