《075》掉举是不正确的修行，也等同行尸走肉。问问你自己，当你死的时候，你是不是还有时间修行呢？不断的问你自己：「我何时会死？」假使我们如此思维(观)，心在每一刻都保持警觉，专注就会一直现前，于是正念便会自然随至，智慧也将会生起——很清楚地看清一切事物的本来面目。正念会守护心，以致当感觉生起时，心都不时觉知。要有正念就是要镇定，要镇定就必须留心。如果我们留心的话，我们就是修行得正确了。
Not practicing rightly is being heedless. Being heedless is like being dead. Ask yourself if you will have time to practice when you die. Constantly ask yourself, "When will I die?" If we contemplate in this way, our mind will be alert every second, heedfulness will always be present, and mindfulness will automatically follow. Wisdom will arise, seeing all things as they really are very clearly. Mindfulness guards the mind so that it knows when sensations arise at all times, day and night. To have mindfulness is to be composed. To be composed is to be heedful. If one is heedful, then one is practicing rightly.
