Penang Retreat 2019 Group 2 Record 2 (52:00-52:47)
When you’re not doing something good, then automatically the mind is thinking of something unwholesome – some delusion, craving, aversion, anxiety, or worry will be operating.
That is why we should take care of the mind; we keep it busy with the wholesome. In mindfulness meditation, we do not let the mind go idle. We always give it a wholesome job, moment to moment.
If you’re not doing something good, you are already doing something bad. The puthujjana (worldling) mind is either wholesome or unwholesome.
