Meditation Book: 3 Passage: 4

Do not waste the remaining part of your life in thoughts about other people, when you are not thinking with reference to some common good.

Train yourself to think only thoughts such that 'What is in your mind?' you could say that with immediate frankness, and so your answer give direct evidence that your thoughts are straightforward and kindly.
