Four Dharmas of Gampopa condenses all the teachings of the past, present and future into four pithy but profound statements that are often also used as a supplication prayer.
Therefore, when Gampopa says "...may the mind follow the Dharma" he is referring not to the buddha-mind or the nature of mind but to the mind that is produced when straying from the Ground occurs.
One way of further unpacking the Four Dharmas of Gampopa is to regard the four lines as referring to the graded path of practice commonly found in all Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
