Do not follow after conventional terms.
#At that time, the expressions and consciousnesses associated with conventional terms
completely disappear. The instruction, therefore, is not to follow after objects and
appearances. "Do not follow" is merely symbolic because, in this state, all dualistic

Theres a danger youll be carried away by the pretentiousness.
Rest uncontrived and loose.
Rest free of hope and fear.
