Lady Tsogyal asked the master: Which key point explains how mind and dharmata are indivisible?
The master replied: These six analogies for indivisibility express how mind and dharmata are indivisible:
● Water and wetness cannot be separated.
● Fire and heat cannot be separated.
● A conch and its whiteness cannot be separated.
● The Golden Isle and its gold cannot be separated.
● Samsara and nirvana cannot be separated.
Similarly, all things and all sentient beings cannot be separated within the single great sphere. Being and nonbeing cannot be separated, but are clearly seen to be mind and hence the true, original wakefulness. Also, things are mind while mind is things, and therefore indivisible and no different.
