IMS Retreat 2012 Q&A Group B#1 (47:10-49:32)
Yogi: How can I prevent becoming indifferent from practicing non-identification?
Sayadaw: Look at it as nature and not to consider it as ‘not-I’ or non-identification because when the mind doesn’t understand the concept, thinking that this is ‘not-I’ or ‘not-me’ is not real.
The purpose of feeding the idea that whatever happens is nature is to allow us to observe what is happening in as neutral a way as possible. It is only to assist the awareness and not to believe that it is so.
