He replied: "I was always playing the lute (vīṇā)." The Buddha said: "What happens if the strings are slack?" He said: "It does not sound." "What happens if the strings are tight?" He said: "The sound breaks." "What happens if the tightness is moderate?" "All the notes are universally harmonious." The Buddha told the śramaṇa: "Studying the Way is just like this. If you keep the mind regulated and balanced, the Way can be attained."
