If, whilst regarding a certain object, there arise, account of it, in the disciple evil and demeritorious thoughts connected with greed, anger and delusion, then the disciple should, by means of this object, gain another and wholesome object. Or, he should reflect on the misery of these thoughts: Unwholesome truly are these thoughts! Blamable are these thoughts! Of painful result are these thoughts. Or, he should pay no attention to these thoughts. Or, he should consider the compounded nature of these thoughts. Or, with teeth clenched and tongue pressed against the gums he should with his mind restrain, suppress and root out these thoughts; and in doing so, these evil and demeritorious thoughts of greed, anger and delusion will dissolve and disappear, and the mind will inwardly become settled and calm, composed and concentrated.
