Yogi: It is helpful that I can move and just walk because it helps me with my bodily pain.
What you said that we would really experience confidence in ourselves if we practice seriously was really helpful. That is exactly what I learn now.
I experience lots of self-confidence and ease in my practice because there’s like a guardian in my mind.
Sayadaw: It’s true that when we are really responsible for our own practice, the confidence that we’re doing it is incredible.
When we have to use our own will, strength and motivation to do something, because we use them, they’re stronger; they get exercised. They really get stronger; so, that’s why it feels so confident.
When we have to rely on an outside structure or somebody else to make everything nice for us so that we can feel like we’re meditating then we’re never sure that we are.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
