Be patient, whatever comes into your sense contacts will cease, so do not fall into kilesa’s trap. Beware! Whatever situation, if it is kilesa, do not believe- Gun them down or reverse gear- go against their ways, wish or flow. Question them and challenge them- “It is better to die than to give up or give in” Use death because the kilesas are afraid of death. Try it out. Many great masters encourage and said it is a skillful method to counteract & fight the kilesas.
