Neither search outside nor seek inside

Neither searth outside nor seek inside
since it is amid what looks foolish.
Let it be
since trying something will move you away.
This is also a discriminating mind.
How ridiculous it is!
You are searching for it while using it now.

Don't wander about searching and seeking
since it is
regardless of whether you know or not.
Let it see when seeing.
Let it hear when hearing.
There has been nothing else special but it from the begining.
