This is the second rule.

(4) Now follows the fourth rule : I shall choose something inanimate, but I shall not lean against it; not changing the position of the body, nor moving about a little, I shall stand there. Abandoning the care of the body, abandoning the care of the hair of the head, beard, and the other parts of the body, of the nails, perfectly motionless, I shall stand there. This is the fourth rule. (5) One who has adopted one of these four rules, &c. (see II, 1, 11, 12). This is the whole duty, &c. Thus I say. Ninth LECTURE?
