“The path to awakening is a marathon not because awakening is a gradual process of itself, but because increasing the frequency of awakened experience is gradual. Awakening is achieved by tensioning the rein, but still allowing freedom of movement. If the tension is too tight or too loose the mind is not able to recognise pressure on the rein as an instruction. Learning to judge the balance between tightness and looseness takes time. It has to be discovered in the empty dimension of riding the mind. It is an intimate and integrated experience.”
