Penang Retreat 2019 Group 1 Record 2 (49:40-51:02)
Yogi: The practice is up and down. Sometimes the mind becomes tense when I want to make the awareness see the object clearly.
Sayadaw: The important thing is not to want to see clearly – just see what you can, but maintain the awareness.
There’s no problem if the object is blur. What is important is to maintain the awareness, not seeing the object clearly. You can know that the object is blur, right?
The object naturally becomes clearer when the awareness is stronger.
The mind gets tense when you want to see the object clearly. So, do not force.
