WANTING TO SEE THE OBJECT CLEARER

Swiss Retreat 2019 Interviews 1 (29:26-30:19) with Sayadaw U Tejaniya

Yogi: Today, there is stronger feeling of aversion and I want to look at it, but there is a barrier. There is something which hides it and I cannot look at it.

Sayadaw: Just recognize its presence without wanting to see it more clearly. You are probably trying too hard to see it in a certain way and that is not necessary – you already know it. That’s enough.

You already see it; so, don’t try to look at it.
