It’s just practice – of course, it is easier to know the physical objects, but you know there is mind.

Once you know there is mind, you allow yourself to recognize it, or acknowledge it as often as you can. And when you very clearly know something is mind, it becomes easier to recognize it, acknowledge it and be with it. It just takes practice to improve.

The 5 physical senses, for us, are always located somewhere. There are markers like form and shape which make it easier to know the 5 physical senses, but the mind has no shape and no form – you can’t see or locate it – so, it’s hard to pin down the mind.

But you can know the mind and that’s all you need to do. You can know that there is mind because it’s happening; you sense that there is mind, and the other thing is that you can know that the mind is doing something – like it thinks, or it feels, or it pays attention when you’re looking and listening.

You can sense those functions of the mind, and that’s how you know the mind is there.

And just practice, don’t expect anything; just practice and allow it to grow by itself.
