This

Though you can see without seeing if you will,
you won't be able to attain enlightenment if you will.

Why?

Everything revealing itself,
you, dull and foolish, keep seeking!
When could you return to your original home?

Believe it or not,
this has never left here.

Can you know what this principle is?

"How difficult this is to realize!
How easy this is no realize!
This is neither easy nor difficult.
I will tell you what this is
When the river flows up from down."
