If one wants to have a mind under one’s own control, one should develop mindfulness (sati) and clear understanding (sampajanna):
“when one is going forward or coming back, when one is looking ahead or looking aside, when one is drawing in or growing out the limbs, when wearing one’s clothes, when eating, drinking, chewing and tasting, when throwing up and putting, when walking, standing, sitting, falling asleep, waking up, speaking, and keeping silent” - All of these situations and activities need mindfulness and clear knowledge.
