3.32

Answer: Although the mind is neither above nor below, in order to cure the troubles of sinking and floating, placing it above or below incurs no fault in practice. If the mind floats and stirs, one can intentionally place it below to stop it; if the mind sinks and submerges, one can place it above to stop it. Furthermore, if one places and settles the mind below, the benefits are numerous, briefly stated as two: first, the mind easily attains absorption; second, various illnesses do not arise.
