Difficult to Transcend

Time and opportunities
　　　　Are fleeting by seconds

Matters of nickels and pennies
　　　　Are fought over as a must

Views and capacity shallow
　　　　Great fool seems smart

Transcending transmigration difficult
　　　　Unaware of the root problem—grasping to Self

Reactions based on grasping to appearances
　　　　Knitting foggy delusions

Clarity of absence of Self
　　　　When will it dawn and present
