Yogi: Today, I came to the conclusion that whatever the awareness is – however much there is and wherever it is – it’s good enough.

I feel that when we’re learning something new or practicing a new skill, the reward comes from the amount of effort we put in, right? More effort, more reward.

Here, I feel that this is incorrect – the effort is in being just remembering to come back to the awareness again and again, just the continuity, that’s where the effort is.

Sayadaw: Yes, that’s correct. If possible, just hang on to the awareness for dear life.

If you understand the awareness, then every moment, there is something that the mind knows. You can appreciate that.

For the yogi, the most important mind is the awareness.
