What state of mind do you want to be in at the moment of your death.  It could be fifty years
away. It could be today.  The exact time cannot be predicted, but we can choose our state of
mind while we live.

Ajahn Nyanamoli Thero from the Hillside Hermitage explains:

Be the master of your mind rather than mastered by it.

Whatever state of mind has you calm, centered, quiet, and aware - this should be your mental posture.
Whether you are in motion or at rest, maintain your mental posture at all times, steady as she goes, regardless of the task at hand. The ineffable teaching of all teachings resides within this. -md
