Number twenty-two: The method, the way, is to try to “consider any part of your body as limitlessly spacious.” For example, we look at the finger, and we see just a little round stuff here, a very small form, but you should consider, consider, consider, consider, consider again. […] And then consider until the finger becomes boundless, with no frontier, no limit. And at that time, of course, you have already entered samadhi. It’s not because you consider with your cross-eyes that your finger became spacious, but because you have enlarged your consciousness, you have set free your Real Self. Thus, you have felt everything in the Universe is spacious, limitless. […]
There are 84,000 ways of concentrating. In fact, practically everything that we do in this life, or everything that exists in this world, is a method of practice, just because our mind is so very, very hindered by our own prejudices – and our own pattern of habit. For example, if we sit anywhere, then immediately we begin to notice that our mind [is] wandering all around the world, without airplane tickets. In other words, illegally traversing many countries’ frontiers without a pass. So, whenever we try to do something, our mind never concentrates there. That’s why the world people are very, very busy [working] from eight to five, from ten to six or whatever, and still the world is in chaos. And most of the time when we work in a company or in our house or in the business, our mind is not absolutely there, so we should get paid only half of the wage, or maybe even one-quarter or one-fifth of it, to be honest. That is why since the ancient times, all the Masters have advised us to spend at least one-tenth of our income for charitable purposes, so that we clear the debt of our unintentional incurring sin.

There is nothing that is defiled in this Universe, except our own mind, our own heart, which has been defiled by our own habit, by our own karma, our own way of life, our incorrect way of thinking, of behaving. And that’s why we perceive everything in such a defiled way, in such an incorrect way. Thus, if we want to get back to the purity of the Kingdom of God, or Buddha Nature, we should by all means always try to be centered, to be concentrated in whatever things we are doing at that moment.
