Lady Tsogyal asked the Lotus-Born master: What is the dividing line between dullness and wakefulness?
The master replied: Dullness is failing to comprehend anything, because of a dense mental veil. Wakefulness is to vividly see the original, natural state as it is. When applying this experientially in your stream-of-being, look into this unknowing, uncomprehending mind itself—without questioning whether mind understands or not—and thereby see that it does not consist of any identity whatsoever but is lucid and unobscured. This is the vital point of naturally dissolving dullness. Tsogyal, this advice of utmost importance, I give to you.
