OVERCOMING HINDRANCES

In spite of this effort when perceptions of external objects arise, one must know the method of tranquilising them. Setting them aside,. If an external object arises, be mindful and aware that it has arisen. However, do not try to force it out. If you force, there will be fatigue which will make matters worse. You need to develop an untiring effort. Therefore do not force. Note the perception with a relaxed mind. Be patient until the mind goes back to the breathing. It will happen. In this way control and set aside the diffusion that arises from time to time.
