Teaching
Chapter 42
"When your mind is refined, attached to Dhamma stream, pure, your will to do good deeds comes about; you attain insight knowledge (knowing and seeing reality within). The wandering mind has no willpower because there are meditation hindrances blocking, causing your mind to wander. When your mind is still and refined, it attaches to the source within. You have more willpower."

Chapter 32
"To maintain the refinement of your mind: if you are aware, it is not difficult. You feel happy and want to be still in Dhamma stream. Yet if you are unaware, your mind is not at the center of the body, if you think that you can meditate any time, recklessly, the rough feeling will deposit little by little; one percent, two percent and finally your mind will be detached from the happiness stream."

Chapter 46
"When your mind is still for the first time, make it stable. Let your mind feel comfortable; be happy. These factors are very important; sustain your mind, this is the turning point. If you start to feel pressured or tense, start again, with ease."
