The mind always wants to go somewhere and do something, inside, so we stop him right where we remember, and turn around, concentrate. Probably at that moment, he was thinking of (vegan) ice cream. So if you continue to follow him, he will bring you to the (vegan) ice cream shop next, and then will empty your pocket and your time into that (vegan) ice cream cone, again. So, the moment he thinks of (vegan) ice cream, if you are meditating or at home and if you don’t want to go out in the cold weather to fetch (vegan) ice cream, if you don’t want to waste your time on that, or if you say, “Tomorrow I go to town, and by the way, I will feed you (vegan) ice cream.” So now you turn the (vegan) ice cream letter into screaming loudly, and then follow the letter until it’s less and less loud, until you enter your harmony again. And that’s how we turn around and have victory over the wandering mind.
Now, number fourteen: “Bathe in the center of a sound, the continuous sound,” such as waterfall or maybe seashore. “Or if you cannot...” because sometimes in the public, then you cannot do the Quan Yin (inner Heavenly Sound meditation). Then if you are at the seaside, perhaps you bathe yourself in the sound of the Universe, of the nature. Like when you are next to the Niagara Falls, then you concentrate on the sound, until you merge within the essence behind the waterfall, behind nature. There is the force behind all trees, and waters, and rivers, and rocks, and mountains, then you concentrate behind that. By hearing the sound of the waterfall and concentrating on the force behind that, you will merge within the Cosmos again. […]

That’s just how you concentrate sometimes. We can concentrate on our Five Holy Names in this way. […]
