Autonomy
Therefore meditation is automatic to the person who has the Harmonious Perspective, because with the Harmonious Perspective (samma-ditthi) arises the Harmonious Goal- orientation (samma-sankappa), which automatically leads to Harmonious Speech (samma-vaca), Action (samma-kammanta), and Lifestyle (sammma-ajiva). From there on, one makes the effort to purify the mind automatically. This is the Harmonious Practice (samma-vayama). This results in the introversion of attention (satipatthana). This is the Harmonious Attention (samma -sati). This is the beginning of the Sevenfold Process of Awakening (satta bhojjanga). This introversion of attention leads to seeing what is within (dhamma vicaya), which is ones experience within, which the reaction of the organism to environmental stimulation. When this is achieved, the will power (viriya) is developed, and one's mind becomes purified. This makes the mind experience the happiness of selflessness (piti). This leads to relaxation of the body (passaddhi) and the feeling of comfort that goes with it. This results in tranquility of mind (samadhi). This tranquility helps healthy objective introspection (upekkha), resulting in true "in-sight (pañña)," which is "experiencing experience" and "Awakening" (sambodhi) from the "dream of existence" (bhava nirodha). This is the freedom from all self-centered emotions (vimutti) and sufferings of life (dukkha nirodha). This is the "Imperturbable Serenity" (NIRVANA).
