Homage. By the key of restraining the breath, drowsiness will not be too severe. If it occurs, make efforts to look upwards, etc. Without becoming like wild thoughts (289), while maintaining mindfulness, do not regard the arising of subtle thoughts as a fault, do not fret, but rather strengthen the power of mindfulness again, making awareness deep and relaxed. All of these are branches of mind-holding, considered as the key to making the uncontrolled mind controlled, so by all means, find the state of non-discrimination before this. Second, without breath: With the above-mentioned branches of mind-holding, the state of mind is the way to train the nature that has been found, making it without support or reliance. That is, the body posture remains the same, do not focus the mind on external objects and internal breathing, etc., do not engage in the practice of holding. The mind has no support, and do not be disturbed by the conceptual thoughts of the mind, but rather let the mind rest in its own natural state. That is, do not think about what you have done before, what has happened, etc. (290) past events, and do not anticipate future events such as what to do in the future, and do not focus on present thoughts and discriminations such as how to stay and how to appear, but rather let the mind relax naturally and rest loosely. This way of resting, as stated in the Guhyasamaja Tantra: The mind is made non-mind. (Tibetan: སེམས་ནི་སེམས་མིན་བྱས་ནས་སུ། , Sanskrit Devanagari: चित्तं अचित्तं कृत्वा, Sanskrit Romanization: cittaṃ acittaṃ kṛtvā, Literal Chinese meaning: Mind is made non-mind.) Do not think of anything. (Tibetan: ཅི་ཡང་སེམ་པར་མི་བྱའོ། , Sanskrit Devanagari: किञ्चित् न चिन्तयेत्, Sanskrit Romanization: kiñcit na cintayet, Literal Chinese meaning: Do not think of anything.) And as stated in the Dohakosha: Completely abandon thought and object of thought. (Tibetan: བསམ་དང་བསམ་བྱ་རབ་ཏུ་སྤངས་ནས་སུ། , Sanskrit Devanagari: चिन्तां चिन्तनीयं परित्यज्य, Sanskrit Romanization: cintāṃ cintanīyaṃ parityajya, Literal Chinese meaning: Completely abandon thought and object of thought.) Rest like a child. (Tibetan: ཇི་ལྟར་བུ་ཆུང་ཚུལ་དུ་བཞག་པར་བྱ། , Sanskrit Devanagari: यथा बालः तथा स्थितं कुरु, Sanskrit Romanization: yathā bālaḥ tathā sthitaṃ kuru, Literal Chinese meaning: Rest like a child.) Like this. Like this, do not focus on anything, let the mind rest like the sky, then the breath of conceptual thoughts will stop, and the mind will become unwavering. As stated in the Dohakosha: Like the sky, the breath will stop. (Tibetan: མཁའ་འདྲར་བྱས་ན་རླུང་ནི་རྣམ་པར་འཆིང་། , Sanskrit Devanagari: आकाशकल्पे कृते वायुः विबन्धनं, Sanskrit Romanization: ākāśakalpe kṛte vāyuḥ vibandhanaṃ, Literal Chinese meaning: Like the sky, the breath will stop.) Completely knowing equality, it will completely dissolve. (Tibetan: མཉམ་ཉིད་ཡོངས་སུ་ཤེས་པས་རབ་ཏུ་ཐིམ། , Sanskrit Devanagari: समताज्ञानं सर्वं सुप्रलीयते, Sanskrit Romanization: samatājñānaṃ sarvaṃ supralīyate, Literal Chinese meaning: Completely knowing equality, it will completely dissolve.) When can one speak like shooting an arrow? (Tibetan: མདའ་བསྣུན་གྱིས་སྨྲ་ནམ་ཞིག་ནུས་ལྡན་ན། , Sanskrit Devanagari: शरक्षेपवत् वचः कदा समर्थो भवेत्, Sanskrit Romanization: śarakṣepavat vacaḥ kadā samartho bhavet, Literal Chinese meaning: When can one speak like shooting an arrow?) Impermanent movement will be quickly abandoned. (Tibetan: མི་རྟག་གཡོ་བ་མྱུར་དུ་སྤང་བར་འགྱུར། , Sanskrit Devanagari: अनित्यं चञ्चलं शीघ्रं परित्यज, Sanskrit Romanization: anityaṃ cañcalaṃ śīghraṃ parityaja, Literal Chinese meaning: Impermanent movement will be quickly abandoned.) Like this. Like this, if the mind is unwavering and rests in non-discrimination, then the signs of the dissolution of internal and external breaths (291) will immediately appear, and it is said that one will ultimately be liberated from the phenomena of samsara. As stated in the Kalachakra: Completely abandon all thoughts, completely observe one day. (Tibetan: བསམ་པ་ཐམས་ཅད་ཡོངས་སྤངས་ནས། , Sanskrit Devanagari: सर्वसंकल्पं परित्यज्य, Sanskrit Romanization: sarvasaṃkalpaṃ parityajya, Literal Chinese meaning: Completely abandon all thoughts.) (Tibetan: ཉི་མ་གཅིག་ནི་ཡོངས་སུ་བརྟག , Sanskrit Devanagari: एकदिनं निरीक्षयेत्, Sanskrit Romanization: ekadinaṃ nirīkṣayet, Literal Chinese meaning: Completely observe one day.) If the signs do not appear, then my words are false. (Tibetan: གལ་ཏེ་རྟགས་ནི་མ་བྱུང་ན། , Sanskrit Devanagari: यदि चिह्नं न जायते, Sanskrit Romanization: yadi cihnaṃ na jāyate, Literal Chinese meaning: If the signs do not appear.) (Tibetan: དེ་ཚེ་ང་ཡི་རྫུན་ཚིག་ཡིན། , Sanskrit Devanagari: तदा मम मृषा वचः, Sanskrit Romanization: tadā mama mṛṣā vacaḥ, Literal Chinese meaning: Then my words are false.) And as stated in the Dohakosha: When the mind is unwavering and rests in its own nature,
