mn100:17.1 Then it occurred to me,
BAGIAN 17
mn100:17.2 ‘Why don’t I, with teeth clenched and tongue pressed against the roof of my mouth, squeeze, squash, and scorch mind with mind?’
mn100:17.3 So that’s what I did,
mn100:17.4 until sweat ran from my armpits.
mn100:17.5 It was like when a strong man grabs a weaker man by the head or throat or shoulder and squeezes, squashes, and crushes them.
mn100:17.6 In the same way, with teeth clenched and tongue pressed against the roof of my mouth, I squeezed, squashed, and crushed mind with mind until sweat ran from my armpits.
mn100:17.7 My energy was roused up and unflagging, and my mindfulness was established and lucid, but my body was disturbed, not tranquil, because I’d pushed too hard with that painful striving.
