The Four Faults which prevent us from realizing the nature of mind right now:
1. The nature of mind is too close to be recognized. Just as we are unable to see our own face, mind finds it difficult to look into its own nature.
2. It is too profound for us to fathom. We have no idea of how deep it could be; if we did, we would have already, to a certain extent, realized it.
3. It is too easy for us to believe. In reality, all we need to do is simple to rest in the naked, pure awareness of the nature of mind, which is always present.
4. It is too wonderful for us to accommodate. The sheer immensity of it is too vast to fit into our narrow way of thinking. We just can't believe it. Nor can we possibly imagine that enlightenment is the real nature of our minds.
