The mind should be emptied

The mind should be emptied
For when it is emptied
Truth comes to it

The mind should be fulfilled
For when it is fulfilled
Desire for things won’t enter it

This quote comes from the book called ‘Back to Beginnings’. The book is a collection of meditations on life issues. Written by a Chinese scholar named Hong Yingming. His Taoist name is Huanchu Daoren which means, ‘A way farer back to beginnings’, thus the title of the book. His works will be featured a lot in this rantings column.
