Yogi: In the meditation pamphlet, it says to come to the sitting with a relaxed and unbiased mind.

But I realized that my universe is infiltrated with a lot of hidden agendas. It is only now, with some practice, that the window keeps opening and there is more tolerance to whatever is happening – and there is a sense of opportunity.

Yesterday, I went for a walk in the forest and there was a little bird calling from somewhere hidden. Normally, I would throw a stone to make it come out so that I could see it, but I didn’t and there was incredible joy not interfering with whatever was known.

Sayadaw: We have to understand the flavor of non-interfering and its benefit.

Yes, the unwholesome minds always want to interfere, always want to get.
