(note the individual mind is spelt with a lower case 'm', while the universal/Buddha Mind is spelt with a capital 'M')

 

From the Song of Mahamudra

by Tilopa

 

 

...If with the mind, one then observes the mind

One destroys distinctions and reaches Buddhahood

 

....Though we say the Mind is a bright light,

It is beyond all words and symbols.

Although the Mind is void in essence,

all things it embraces and contains

This is what is meant by: " Turning the light inward" "Turning mind back to mind...back to itself"
