Penang Retreat 2019 Group 2 Record 1 (15:29-16:19)
Yogi: When the mind is calm, how do I know that the mind is really stable?
Sayadaw: When the mind is calm, stay with the awareness, not the calmness. If you’re unsure if you’re attached to the calmness, change the object.
If you’re attached, the mind doesn’t want to change the object. It is very obvious then that there is attachment.
Attachment has the nature of stickiness; it means that it wants to stick to the object. That is the nature of craving.
