Note To Yogis: Like Your Head Was On Fire!
"If, on examination, a monk knows, 'I usually remain covetous,
with thoughts of ill will, overcome by sloth & drowsiness,
restless, uncertain, angry, with soiled thoughts, with my body
aroused, lazy, or unconcentrated,' then he should put forth extra
desire, effort, diligence, endeavor, relentlessness, mindfulness,
& alertness for the abandoning of those very same evil,
unskillful qualities. Just as when a person whose turban
or head was on fire would put forth extra desire, effort,
diligence, endeavor, relentlessness, mindfulness, & alertness
to put out the fire on his turban or head; in the same way, the
monk should put forth extra desire, effort, diligence, endeavor,
relentlessness, mindfulness, & alertness for the abandoning of
those very same evil, unskillful qualities.
Note To Yogis: Attentiveness To Sensuousness! Thus you should
train yourselves: 'We will develop mindfulness immersed in the
body. We will pursue it, hand it the reins and take it as a basis,
give it a grounding, steady it, consolidate it, and undertake it
well.' That is how you should train yourselves." Sedaka Sutta
