look without imagination

Learn to look without imagination, 

to listen without distortion:

 that is all.

 Stop attributing names and shapes to the essentially nameless and formless,

 realize that every mode of perception is subjective,

 that what is seen or heard,

 touched or smelled, 

felt or thought, 

expected or imagined,

 is in the mind and not in reality,

 and you will experience peace and freedom from fear.
