Yogi: Sayadaw suggests using 2 questions in the sit – what’s happening and how is it working? What’s happening is fine, but I’m confused by how it is working.

Sayadaw: It’s not so much how it is working but rather to see what is working, to see the activities of mind. For example, there are feelings in the mind and they do the work of feeling; and there are perceptions in the mind and they do the work of perceiving.

There are also other activities of the mind like choosing or judging, paying attention and thinking – what work is being done.
