Yogi: I still can’t see pain as nature. When I watch the hot sensation, the mind keeps going to the disliking. How can I learn to see the pain correctly?
Sayadaw: It is normal to not like the sensation that the mind doesn’t like.
When you watch the disliking mind, just check what level the disliking is. As you watch it, take a few deep breaths and see if the disliking decreases a bit.
If it gets less, then you can watch the heat again and you’ll notice the disliking again. And maybe the disliking has increased. Then go back to the disliking and watch it again to and fro with the heat and disliking.
Take that as an exercise.
Yogi: Sometimes I ask myself what is wrong with the disliking and it releases some, but it’ll come back again.
Sayadaw: It’s okay as long as it releases sometimes and you’re okay with that.
