Look clearly

Dear my Dharma friends,
What else but what is being revealed before your eyes
are you struggling and seeking?

Look clearly.
There is nothing else.

You are seeking something else in spite of yourself.
What a pity!
The harder you seek, the farther you go away
from what you are looking for and seeking.

A black three-eyed crow with two heads,
trying to brighten darkness,
is not aware of its lack og ability.
