（3）如不过急，亦宜「不过缓」（作意），若过缓作意者，则不能到达业处的终点，而证胜（位）之缘；譬如欲于当日行三由旬之道的人，若于途中的树、山、池等处处耽搁，则不能到达终点。
Ñ(VIII,64): 3. And as 'not too quickly', so also not too slowly. For just as when a man wants to do a three-league journey in one day, if he loiters on the way among trees, rocks, pools, etc., he does not finish the journey in a day and needs two or three to complete it, so too, if the meditator gives his attention to the meditation subject too slowly, he does not get to the end and it does not become a condition for distinction.
