During meditation,we should not develop a mind that accumulates and
holds on to things. Instead we should develop a mind that is willing to
let go, to give up all burdens. In our ordinary lives we have to carry the
burden of many duties, like so many heavy suitcases, but within the
period of meditation such baggage is unnecessary. In meditation, unload
as much baggage as you can. Think of duties and achievements as heavy
weights pressing upon you. Abandon them freely without looking back.
