Second, cultivating calming and contemplation to counter the ailment of mental sinking and floating. When the practitioner sits in meditation, if their mind is dark and obstructed, unrecorded and dazed, or at times very sleepy, at that time they should cultivate contemplation to illuminate it. If during the sitting their mind floats and moves, light, restless, and unsettled, at that time they should cultivate calming to calm it. This is a brief explanation of the characteristics of cultivating calming and contemplation to counter the ailment of mental sinking and floating. One must only skillfully recognize the medicine and the illness and apply them correspondingly; in each case, one must not commit the error of misapplying the antidote.
