If their karma is not exhausted in a rainbow body, their activity will appear from
the outside to be consonant with their personal karma. If the spontaneity that is
naturally induced by the recognition of the alpha-purity of all experience
demonstrates an egoless awareness of the dynamic necessity of the totality,
cushioned by the vibration of a bodhisattva, it will probably be appreciated only
subliminally by those who witness it.
The last word is from Pema Rigtsal:
In reality, therefore, all phenomena are merely mental labels, and in reality
not even the smallest thing exists to be cultivated or rejected. Yogins and
yoginis who have this view pay no attention to their own level of
accomplishment regarding either attachment to the objective, material aspect
of nominal experience or to the degree of any emotional attachment. Such
yogins and yoginis make no distinction between high and low views, nor do
they pay heed to the speed of accomplishment on the path.Keith Dowman
