I am surprised by the amount of insight and revelation that exists in people. Pre-liberation, I thought NOBODY was actually enlightened, except maybe 3 or 4 people in the Himalayas. Now I see it is literally everywhere. Although some look more deeply than others, every human being is floating in the abyss; their consciousness, their thoughts, are this abyss, so of course it permeates every action. It IS every action!

There's both foolishness and brilliance beyond measure within humans. Knowing that there is no one behind it, one can see that this oscillation is quite literally the foundation of the universe. All is void, but void is ebbing and flowing, all without losing size or shape. The entire universe is breathing with life, and human beings are just one manifestation of that infinity.

Sadness is not unenlightenment - just one aspect of the flow, one side of the coin. You wouldn't say that one side of the coin has nothing to do with the rest of the coin; you would step back and look at the coin as a whole, and say that without both faces, it would cease to be a coin. So it is with humans.

There is sadness, there is happiness. They rise, they fall. Both are just the universe happening. We are just the universe happening.
