Fundamentally the correct teaching is
Neither instantaneous nor gradual,
Whereas the nature of each individual
May be either sharp or dull.
The deluded person practices the gradual
Method whereas the enlightened person
Realizes the instantaneous union with
Reality. This is why the unreal names of
Instantaneous and gradual methods have
Been in use, but there will be no
Difference between the two when their own
Minds are known and their fundamental
Nature is perceived.
