mn85:20.1 Then it occurred to me,
BAGIAN 20
mn85:20.2 ‘Why don’t I, with teeth clenched and tongue pressed against the roof of my mouth, squeeze, squash, and scorch mind with mind?’
mn85:20.3 So that’s what I did,
mn85:20.4 until sweat ran from my armpits.
mn85:20.5 It was like when a strong man grabs a weaker man by the head or throat or shoulder and squeezes, squashes, and crushes them.
mn85:20.6 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.
mn85:20.7 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.
