PAY ATTENTION TO THE WAY – HOW TO PRACTICE
Don’t try to be aware of the calm mind; try to be aware of the awareness (just ask ‘Is the mind aware?’).
The yogi likes calmness, that’s why she is checking often; like checking her money if it’s still there. Worry and anxiety are already present.
The yogi’s duty is to recognize that the mind is calm if the mind is calm; recognize that the mind is not calm if it is not calm. That’s all.
Pay more attention to the way to practice – how to practice so as to result in the calmness.
If you know how to get it, there is no need to be attached to the calmness.
Calmness is not our goal, understanding is our goal.
