People who practice mental concentration may inhibit the True Mind within themselves by being dependent on sensory perceptions, coarse states of mind, and restricted breathing. Before achieving mental purity, the constant practices of concentrating the mind and viewing the mind. Although they do so during all their activities, cannot achieve clarity and purity, nor illumine that mind which is the sources of all dharmas.

Do not try to search outside yourself, which leads to the suffering of saṃsāra. Maintain the same state of mind in every moment of thought, in every phase of mental activity.
