Chapter 1
The still mind: able to enter within, will see reality, because reality within the seventh base of the mind is real.
If you are really accomplished, really still, you will know and see the reality within; and find happiness, purity and refuge within.

As we get older, most people wish for “Health and Wholeness.” Time passes by really quickly: day then night, night then day. So be energetic and meditate extremely now while you are healthy. Let yourself spend all your time training your mind to become still.
