3. The third level of development – Tranquillity of Mind
At this level we consider the importance of calmness. We learn to relax the body and calm the mind. We learn to calm the emotions instead of fighting, suppressing or repressing them. We learn that emotions are controlled by mental images. We can learn to change our mental images and maintain calming images in the mind. We walk calmly, work calmly, talk calmly, and think calming thoughts. We avoid emotional thoughts as far as we can. Even if we become emotional by accident, we know how to regain our composure and return to calmness quickly. This way, thoughts of inferiority never enter our minds. We are not concerned about inferiority or superiority at all.
