That petty people in their stubborn wilfulness dare not indulge their passions is due to the control of penal laws. That the consciousness in its wandering drifts dare not grasp at objects is due to the power of mindful illumination. Alas, a practitioner without mindful illumination is like a fine horse without bit and bridle, or petty people without penal laws; by what means could one sever greed and desire or regulate false thoughts?'
