"Leave alone whatever arises in the mind. Do not seek to change or alter anything. It is all perfect as it stands" ~Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche (ཆོས་རྒྱལ་ནམ་མཁའི་ནོར་བུ་ 1938-2018)
That could make sense in retrospect, after the fact (of practicing meditation/mindfulness). The practice (sometimes easy, sometimes hard) is illuminated and made meaningful precisely in the evanescent moment of its dissolution, that is the moment when it suddenly evaporates itself in satori, refreshing the meaning of the term the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind (i.e. yoga as featured in Patanjali's Sutra). To leave (the mind) alone is hard (and easy). Real freedom is paradoxical, hard and easy.
