Development stage: Vajrakilaya

What is instantaneous practice?
The deity is not developed,
but perfected, its essence recalled.

How does one practice in stages?
By entering successively
into basic space and wisdom.

Longchenpa: Ati

Nowadays, those "elephants" who pride themselves on
being ati practitioners, allege that thought patterns,
stirring and proliferating, are awakened mind.

All of these fools are submerged in darkness,
far from the meaning of natural great perfection.

They do not understand even dynamic energy
or what arises from that energy,
to say nothing of the essence of awakened mind.
