If we have playmind, we can see through meditation that all phenomena are like magic. Then, wherever we go, we are comfortable. If we come from a high standard class, we can do low standard work very easily without self-righteousness or discomfort. If we come from a low standard class, we can communicate easily with high standard people since our mind is vast and playful. Whatever class we come from, there is no contradiction between high and low standards because our mind is open and relaxed and we see all phenomena as the display of unobstructed Wisdom Mind.
When we practice, we need rested playmind. All spiritual qualities are invisible and substanceless and are inherent within all substance. If we are too serious, the aim of our meditation becomes more and more distant, because our mind is divided and obscured, but if we have playmind, our minds will always be clear, like the pond which becomes clear when left alone, free from disturbances.
-- Thinley Norbu Rinpoche
