Yogi: Is intention a kind of thinking?

Sayadaw: No. Thinking is thinking; intention is intention. Intention is the mental energy that wants to make something happen.

When there is intention, thinking also arises – thinking comes together with intention, both happen together, but intention is not thinking.
