You know that our breathing is the inhaling and exhaling of air. The organ that serves for this is the lungs that lie round the heart so that the air passing through them thereby envelops the heart. Thus breathing is a natural way to the heart. And so having collected your mind within you lead it into the channel of breathing through which air reaches the heart and together with this inhaled air force your mind to descend into the heart and to remain there. ↗

យើងបង្កើតបក្សដើម្បីជាតិ មិនមែនជាតិដើម្បីបក្សនោះទេ។ យើងខិតខំគ្រប់បែបយ៉ាងដើម្បីជួយជាតិ វាផ្ទុយពីខិតខំគ្រប់បែបយ៉ាងដើម្បីបំផ្លាញជាតិ ធ្វើឲ្យតែបានប្រយោជន៍ខ្លួន ឬបក្សពួកខ្លួន។ ↗
