Letting the Heart Speak
If
any preoccupation comes in to bother the mind, just say in your heart,
‘Leave me alone. Don’t bother me. You’re no affair of mine.’ If any
critical thoughts come up—fear for your life, fear that you’ll die,
thinking of this person, thinking of that person—just say in your heart,
‘Don’t bother me. You’re no affair of mine.’
