Sayadaw: The positive is in the knowing, whatever it is and however ugly. It is positive to be mindful.

Yogi: Even if I cannot do anything to reduce the judging? And, I hate it.

Sayadaw: You know the hate – that is the positive.

Yogi: Even if it doesn’t change anything?

Sayadaw: No need to change anything. Meditation is not to fix anything; meditation is to know everything.
