Dhammagiri Buddhist Podcasts · Apr 11, 2024 · 32m

In this sutta, the Buddha compares the work of a goldsmith to the work of a meditator trying to purify their mind.

Both have to pay attention to 3 qualities at the appropriate time, without overdoing any of them:

Calming the mind with samādhi / cooling the gold in the smelter

Arousing the mind with energetic effort / heating the gold

Looking on with equanimity / observing the gold with equanimity
