Buddha to his agitated disciple, Ananda: "To go into deep meditation, to listen to the music of the spheres, one has to keep the mind alert, stable and poised, not slack and lazy and at the same time not so stressed - as you seem to be keeping your mind - for no music shall come, for the mind shall break. If the mind breaks, no instrument have you, other than it, to find the Truth. Therefore, follow the Middle Path, neither too much nor too little. Neither this extreme nor that.”
