Part 2b.5 - Resting in apparent objects as unobstructed

Resting the five gates in their intrinsic luminosity:

We should let ourselves be a clear and luminous mirror,
Within which apparent objects are like ceaseless reflections.

In the openness of clear and luminous mind, rest loosely but undistracted without conception or grasping, as the variegated apparent objects of the senses vanish like mist. The All-Creating King says:

Kye, therefore vajra being now you should meditate.
Though our natural wisdom lies beyond all conception,
With realization you need not abandon conceptual meaning.
Just go beyond objects and do not guard consciousness.
As things are clearly the essence, do not meditate.
With phenomena clearly the essence, neither hope nor fear.
