40. Train without bias in all areas. It is crucial always to do this pervasively and wholeheartedly; Train wholeheartedly.
With these two slogans, we enter the final point of mind training: Training Wholeheartedly for Living and Dying.
“Training without bias” means that I am willing to open up every area of my life to be fuel for my awareness and practice. I don’t leave anything out, even if it is painful to work with. The more I train with my whole being, the more able I am to work with and transform even the most stuck places in my life. When I start with myself and my patterns, then I can extend this practice to everyone. There is ultimately no separation.
“Training wholeheartedly” means I continually let everything I experience stop my mind and open my heart. I am willing to live and die wholeheartedly, one moment at a time.
