All the verbal teachings point to the inherent nature of the immediate mirroring awareness. As long as this is not affected by anything, existent or otherwise, it is your guide. It can shine through all realms, whether they exist or not. This adamantine wisdom, wherein you have your share of freedom and independence. If you cannot understand in this way, then even you could recite the whole canon and all its branches of knowledge, that would only make you conceited. Paradoxically, it shows contempt for Buddhas; it is not true practice.
