Asking for Directions

If you desire liberation,
recognize the nature of "Emptiness"
and you will attain liberation.
If you desire no more reincarnation,
recognize the nature of "Emptiness,"
and there will be no more reincarnation.
Beside this, you should also recognize the "Self."
You have to first recognize the "Self,"
then you will be able to keep yourself under control.
How does one do this? Through inquiry/
If you don't know, you should inquire.
For example, when we are driving toward a destination,
if we shoudl ask someone for directions.
Sometimes, you even have to ask more than once.
You have accomplished the task only when you have
arrived at the destination.
