The Sources of Power
~Milarepa
"There’s a whole lot of power in my view, free from extremes beyond concept.
There’s a whole lot of power right here in the heart of what’s been pure
from the very start.
There’s a whole lot of power in my meditation, undistracted and reference-free.
A whole lot of power is what I find in the great clear light, the great clear light.
There’s a whole lot of power when I act, because whatever happens I’m relaxed.
There’s a whole lot of power flowing easily when actions are
naturally relaxed and free.
There’s a whole lot of power in the result of pure reality recognizing itself.
There’s a whole lot of power in the fruit of this great variety being naturally free.
There’s a whole lot of power in my samaya of
precisely following the Lama’s command.
There’s a whole lot of power because nothing is wrong, no vows have been broken, no harm has been done.
There’s a whole lot of power in my practice, because whatever happens I adapt to it.
There’s a whole lot of power because in the end all appearances are my friends.
I see all appearances are my friends."
