THINGS MADE DIFFICULT BY TRYING

|Bangkok Retreat 2016 Instructions and Q&A (55:50-1:04:20)

When you try to do something, it always makes things more difficult.

If the mind labels naturally and you recognize that the mind is labeling, that is also knowing an activity of the mind – that is the nature of the mind that is happening now; that’s fine.

[Yogis note: It is easier to recognize what is happening than to try and drop it, emotions and feelings included. When sati is present, sampajanna/wisdom follows.]
