WATCHING THE BODY OR THE MIND?

Singapore Q&A 14.7.2023 (01:16-02:20)

Sayadaw: What object are you more aware of? Body or mind?

Yogi: Body.

Sayadaw: Why?

Yogi: I prefer the body.

Sayadaw: But the mind is more important.

Yogi: I know.

Sayadaw: If you’re aware of the awareness, you can also know the body.

That is why I remind yogis: What is the mind aware of? This is also attention to the mind.

I also ask: Do you recognize that awareness is present? That is also the mind. That is enough because the body sensation is already with the awareness.
