Yogi: I notice dissatisfaction and tension in the mind; also the greed and aversion in the task of being aware. When that is noticed, the mind then relaxes – it’s a back-and-forth.

Sayadaw: That’s Right View – seeing things as they are.

What difference does it make that there is awareness, that you notice all these happenings?

Yogi: With the awareness, it’s just not personal; otherwise, it gets personal unbeknown to me.

Sayadaw: That’s right – learn to appreciate the beneficial effects of having awareness. Every moment of awareness brings some wisdom with it.
