“Lady Tsogyal asked:
“Shouldn't a practitioner of Secret Mantra
𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝?
.
Padmasambhava replied:
“Of course they should be brought onto the path!
But only a peacock can feed on poison.
The person who is able to 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 is rarer than the udumvara flower.
While for someone of the highest caliber a disturbing emotion manifests as a helper,
𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙖 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣.
For this lesser type of person, it is more profound to abandon disturbing emotions!“
.
.
“After how much abandoning does one become adept?”, she asked.
.
“When you are 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 and sense-pleasures and 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 [U2T], then you needn't suppress disturbing emotions even when they do arise, as they don't harm.
When they don't arise, you have no desire to produce them as you are free from expectations.
When that happens, disturbing emotions have been brought onto the path.

To try to utilize disturbing emotions as path
while not having turned away from clinging to solid reality

1. 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 is the root cause of benefit to others; so it must
not be abandoned.
2. The 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 of various aspects are the radiance of the
mind (manifestations of the Ground); so it must not be abandoned.
3. All 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 (nature of relativity) are the transitory reflection of
dharmata only; so they must not be abandoned.
4. 𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 are instrumental of cultivating wisdom; so they must
not be abandoned.
5. The desirable 𝙤𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨 that appear to the five senses are like the
water and fertilizer for experience and realization; so they both
must not be abandoned.
6. 𝙎𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, suffering and sorrows are like our teacher; so they
must not be abandoned.
7. The 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙨 and obstructers are exhortation of the Dharmata;
so they must not be abandoned.
8. It is a boon to achieve 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙞𝙩𝙮; so it must not be abandoned.
9. 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙 are always support to proceed on the path of
wisdom; so they must not be abandoned.
10. What is accomplished through 𝙨ā𝙙𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙖 is the physical
conduct of Dharma; so it must not be abandoned.
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨, which needs little physical ability,
must not be abandoned.
