7.41

"The application of mindfulness to the mind has three: (9) Gladdening the mind: once the mind is fixed on one object, lacking wisdom and understanding, it will inevitably be submerged by a sinking mind; using joy to uplift it so that it does not submerge is called 'gladdening.' (10) Collecting the mind: if the joyful mind becomes agitated and scattered, it overshoots and exceeds; constantly collecting it to bring it back and not letting it race toward conditions is called 'collecting.' (11) Liberating the mind: the mind is not restless or scattered, but balanced and free from encumbrance; hence it is called 'liberating.'
