SEEING THE WAY THE MIND WORKS

See this content in the original post

Yogi: Sometimes, I cannot find out the reason why I’m angry.

Sayadaw: It is in the thinking or talking mind in the head, but not the story.

It is a process that is making the mind angry. You want to understand the process that is making the mind angry. So, what is it that you know about the mind that is making the mind angry; that’s what you’re looking at.

What is it that you know that is making the mind angry? It is not what you’re thinking about that is making the mind angry. You think about the person, but it is not what you’re thinking about. It is what you know that is happening in the mind that is making the mind angry.

Before you get angry, do you know what is the mind doing?

If we watch and the mindfulness is continuous, we’ll see the way the mind works.
