The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart...
If you wish to see the truth hold no opinion for or against. The struggle of what one likes and what one dislikes is the disease of the mind.
-Jianzhi Sengcan from Xinxin Ming
There is not much I can say to that. Perfectly put. Preference is a disease of the mind that prevents us from naturally falling into Self; equanimity is the cure.
All is well
