The ultimate mode of being, the ground wherein both we and Guru Rinpoche are primordially inseparable – namely, the self arising primordial wisdom, which is subject to no movement of discursive thought — is referred to as Guru. Because deluded perceptions are themselves primordially pure, the path is free from all striving and the fruit is present spontaneously like a lotus in full flower. Therefore [the path itself] is referred to as Padma, or lotus. For the fruit is not something that occurs at a later stage as a result of the practice. In the ultimate expanse, which is self arising and spontaneously present, the primordial wisdom of self awareness is clearly [and already] manifest. This is referred to as Siddhi, or accomplishment. And, although in terms of conceptual distinctions the self arising primordial wisdom may be classified as ground, path, and fruit, these three are not different in nature. This is directly perceived by self-cognizing awareness and is indicated by the syllable Hung.

White Lotus: An Explanation of the Seven-Line Prayer to Guru Padmasambhava, by Jamgon Mipham

Nondistraction means not being lost in subtle undercurrents of delusion or indifferent stupor; it is immaculate, unending mindfulness. Not understanding this, if one is fearful and cautious about being distracted and is bound by a repressed, constricted mind, this is an error.

Natural, ordinary mind means this present mind unstained by either faults or good qualities. This self-nature is unstained by the continuity of awareness. Not understanding this, if one grasps at the substantiality of the rigid concepts of worldly, ordinary mind, this is an error.

To be meditationless means to enter profound, unconditioned natural space, detached from meditating and non-meditating, without any contrivance or aim, stabilizing the expansive fortress of mindfulness. Not understanding this, if one remains in ordinary, careless neutrality, or is lost in meaningless indifference, this is an error.

Sunlight Speech That Dispels the Darkness of Doubt, Sublime Prayers, Praises, and Practices of the Nyingma Masters :  translated by Thinley Norbu

Even if we think we have found the origin of phenomena, we are only being deluded by the karmic seeds of new discoveries which are constantly ripening, becoming exhausted, and being replaced through the ripening of other karmic seeds. Yet we continue to be fascinated by trying to define substance, constantly trying to catch it, thinking that we have caught it but then losing it. We are endlessly lured by the material creations of our conceptions. Sublime beings, knowing the characteristics of each phenomenon and the nature of all phenomena, are never lured by anything. They abide in the infinite display of enlightenment’s empty appearance without trying to catch anything or being able to be caught.
