David Chaim Smith, Commentary on The Fountain of Wisdom

 We come to this realm in order to discover and give expression of the divine … the open brilliance of the tzachtzachot. We are here to overpower appearance with its incorruptible splendor. For that you will have to rediscover the ground of your most intimate nature - the nothingness-fullness and its luminosity. This is what is not born and cannot die. Do not let yourself be held hostage or tricked by appearances … even the appearances of beauty, dearest loved ones, and precious bodily life. All of these will come and go, be built up and fall away, and be forgotten. That which is most sublime will always be the heart of whatever arises. The work consists of not mistaking it for lesser concerns.
