Listen \u2026 And how does someone live negligently? When you live with the eye faculty unrestrained, your mind becomes polluted when it comes to sights known by the eye. When the mind is polluted, there\u2019s no joy. When there\u2019s no joy, there\u2019s no rapture. When there\u2019s no rapture, there\u2019s no tranquility. When there\u2019s no tranquility, there\u2019s suffering. When one is suffering, the mind does not become immersed in sam\u0101dhi. When the mind is not immersed in sam\u0101dhi, principles do not become clear. Because principles have not become clear, you\u2019re reckoned to live negligently. When you live with the ear \u2026 nose \u2026 tongue \u2026 body \u2026 mind faculty unrestrained, your mind becomes polluted when it comes to ideas known by the mind.

When you live with the eye faculty restrained, your mind doesn\u2019t become polluted when it comes to sights known by the eye. When the mind isn\u2019t polluted, joy springs up. Being joyful, rapture springs up. When the mind is full of rapture, the body becomes tranquil. When the body is tranquil, one feels bliss. And when blissful, the mind becomes immersed in sam\u0101dhi. When the mind is immersed in sam\u0101dhi, principles become clear.
