Yogi: There are unpleasant feelings in the body and aversion arises. As instructed, I notice the bodily sensations and the aversion in the mind. 

It’s like a game – do I continue to do this? Is it time well spent?

Sayadaw: Is it a game because it keeps coming up and you have to keep watching it?

Yogi: Yes.

Sayadaw: If meditation is a game, it is great; then it is fun. 

Yogi: Will I ever win?

Sayadaw: Why not! It is important to check your attitude – remind yourself that aversion is not a bad thing and you’re here to understand its nature.

You remind yourself that it is nature so that you can watch it, again and again

When you understand that it is nature, you’ve won the game.
