So someone who is going to enter the Dhamma, when their mind has gained peace, it will be straight and direct to go towards the paths and fruits of Nibbana. There will be someone who is easy to tell and to teach and is yielding as well. So here we can think: if we have a lot of duties and responsibilities, a lot of distractions in our life, can we become peaceful? We won't be able to be peaceful in body and speech. We have to receive all types of information and things from outside, and it brings in agitation. But someone who has wisdom will do less work and duties. Oh, sometimes getting higher positions and more to manage brings in more agitation and restlessness. Our time is used up on managing work; we have no time for ourselves, and that which has the highest benefit is time. But if we have no wisdom in order to earn a living, then we can also be in trouble and in difficulties. So we need wisdom to be able to earn a living, but we have to have time to find peace in the mind. We become someone who is sense-restrained and is careful of their actions and speech, not getting too involved and caught up with a lot of things. We must be able to make this mind peaceful.
是以，即將契入正法者，當其心獲得平靜時，便會直趨涅槃道果。這樣的人易於勸誡教導，且能隨順受教。由此我們可思惟：若生活中充斥諸多職責牽掛、紛擾雜務，我們能否獲得內心平靜？身語皆難以安寧。我們不得不接收來自外界的各類資訊與事物，這只會帶來擾動。然有智慧者，必當減省事務與職責。啊！有時職位愈高、掌管愈多，反而增添焦躁不安。光陰盡耗於處理事務，無暇安住自身，而時間實為最珍貴資糧。但若缺乏謀生智慧，亦會陷入困頓艱難。故我們需以智慧謀生，更需騰出時日讓心尋得安寧。當成為防護諸根、謹言慎行之者，不過度涉入與糾纏諸多俗務。我們必須令此心臻至寂靜。
