| According to tantra, the ultimate nature of mind is essentially pure. This pristine nature is technically called "clear light." When this clear light nature of mind is veiled or inhibited from expressing its true essence by the conditioning of afflictive emotions and thoughts, the person is said to be caught in the cycle of existence, samsara. But when, by applying appropriate meditative techniques and practices, the individual is able to fully experience this clear light nature of mind, free from the influence of the afflictive states, he or she is on the way to true liberation and full enlightenment. |

Still, the importunities of private companies cannot be listened to with more caution than prudence requires. |
