It is cru­cial to know when it is appro­pri­ate to with­draw our atten­tion from things that dis­turb our mind. How­ev­er, if the only way we know how to deal with cer­tain objects is to avoid them, there will be a severe lim­it as to how far our spir­i­tu­al prac­tice can take us.
‑Lama Thubten Yeshe, “Intro­duc­tion to Tantra”
