Ordinary mind is the way

Text

Even when all sorts of thoughts do crop up, it's only for the time being while they arise. So, just like little children of three or four who are busy at play, when you don't continue holding onto those thoughts and don't cling to any [particular] thoughts, whether they're happy or sad, not thinking about whether to stop or not to stop them— why, that's nothing else but abiding in the Unborn Buddha Mind.

So keep the one mind as one mind. If you always have your mind like this, then, whether it's good things or bad, even though you're neither trying not to think them nor to stop them, they can't help but just stop of themselves.

~ Bankei

Commentary

Ordinary mind is just thoughts coming and thoughts going.

Do you get it? I hope you do!
