Why healing? Why purpose?

Why healing?
We all have this notion of healing ourselves and even healing others.
The human condition is one of suffering and strife, feelings of guilt and inadequacy.
The focus is always on 'I', ego.
Paradoxically, it is we who cannot forgive ourselves out of our own self-grasping.
Out of self-grasping, we seek healing,
because of self-grasping, we are not healed.

Why purpose?
We all have this notion of fulfilling the purpose of ourselves and even others.
The human condition is one of seeking to overcome all the suffering and strife,
that is said to be buddhanature ripening.
The focus is always on 'I', ego.
Paradoxically, it is we who cannot accomplish our own purpose out of our own self-grasping.
Out of self-grasping, we seek purpose,
because of self-grasping, our purpose is not fulfilled.

Cutting the root, self-grasping,
we find that we are simultaneously healed and fulfilled.
All the qualities once sought have become fully manifest.
We have arrived at the citadel,
surrounded by the noble riches of those thus gone.
We are the womb of suchness,
in which worlds of opportunity unceasingly unfold.
