Rest for the mind

No simile for quickness of mind
Secondly, a sense object, not just an object in line of sight
Instead, the whole lineage from line of sight to the very beginning of the universe
And the beginning of the universe, an unthinkable
On conjecture upon the birth of insanity
Amidst such circumstances, restless of mind, and rebirth of rāga
Sleep for rest of body, but not mind
What for rest of mind? The meditation
Samatha for temporary suppression of kilesās
Vipassanā for permanent uprooting of kilesās
Also, no Vipassanā without Samatha
Samatha, a predecessor to vipassanā
But Samatha how? Simply focus or rest of mind on one object
Most accurately, without curiosity about or discernment of qualities of substance
Otherwise, same pitfalls like a sense object
