618. “Bhikkhus, whoever loses interest and stops engaging his mind, by no longer directing his attention onto the body, is the person who is missing out, for he has fallen away from ever experiencing The Deathless!

“Therefore, Bhikkhus, firmly anchor your mindfulness upon the body, for it will most certainly take you straight to The Deathless!”
