# What did we talk about?
alternate translations
mind body problems

everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Ordinary mind is perfect like vast space
where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess.
Indeed, it is due to our choosing to accept or reject
that we do not see the true nature of things.
