Choosing

Yutang Lin

In oneness of all there is no choosing.
With preferences one constantly chooses.
All flow, like illusion; what to choose?
Grasping to views ceased, let others choose.

Comment:

Originally all are in oneness that is boundless, hence no way to choose. Once there are preferences in mind, one chooses incessantly. All are flowing and passing away, like a show of illusions; why insist on choosing this or that? Having awakened one no longer grasps to views, and let others make their choices.
