(1357-1419)
“If one does not enjoy meditating on concentration and is unable to put an end to the laziness which delights in what is at odds with it, one will not be granted entry, from the very inception, into concentration and even should one obtain it once, it will swiftly decay through being unable to maintain the continuum. Hence, putting an end to laziness at the beginning is critical.”
