When you contemplate the body
By being within the body,
You should not engage in all sorts of ideas about it.
The same when you contemplate feelings
By being within feelings;
You should enter in without ideas.
The same applies to contemplating the mind
By being within the mind
And contemplating thoughts
By being within thoughts.
The thoughts should be just the objects of mind
And you should not apply yourself
To any train of ideas connected with them.
In this way, by putting ideas aside,
Your mind will become tranquil
And fixed on one point.
It will then enter into a meditation
That is without discursive thought
And is rapturous and joyful.
