Quote

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.

Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.
