“Avoid such situations in which you are unnecessarily burdened with rubbish. You already have too much as it is, you need to be unburdened of it. And you go on collecting it as if it is something precious. Talk less, listen only to the essential, be telegraphic in talking and listening.

That becomes the necessary soil for meditation to arise. Don't go on reading all kinds of nonsense.”
