Are Your Six Senses in Check?
|
Maintaining single-minded focus is imperative in accomplishing any task, whether in stillness like meditation or studying, or in action like walking or driving. Applying the same mindfulness to all our daily activities means drawing the six senses away from the sense objects. When we can abide internally and be unswayed by external conditions, we can achieve self-mastery with strength and wisdom.
