You Have To Learn To Apply Yourself In Different Circumstances

In the course of practice, you should not avoid noisy situations and crave quiescent states. This is like closing one's eyes so as not to see a single thing, like sitting in the "dark cave of ghosts" wasting away time. What kind of attainment can you achieve by sitting beneath the dark mountain immersed in stale water? You have to learn to apply yourself in different circumstances.
