Preserve Pure Awareness, Listen to the Voice of the Inner Mind

Preserve the pure awareness of your brain, and make sure your mind is always there at all times.

At every moment you must clearly understand that there is no way of changing the past, and that everything in the future is built on the foundation of every moment here and now.

You just have to do the tasks at hand with a peaceful mind,and listen to every sound that resonates from the inner mind, but you must not take these as directions you must obey.（page 198）

~An excerpt from The World is a Reflection of the Mind.

Author: Xuemo, translated by J.C.Cleary

保持头脑的清醒，任何时候都不要心不在焉，每时每刻都要明白，过去无法改变，未来的一切又建立在每一个当下的基础之上。你只管安心做好手头的事情，注意倾听内心响起的每一个声音，不要把它们当成必须去遵守的指令。(166页）
