Yogi: When we detect a wrong view in the early stage before it blows up into anger, how do we get detached from it or take care of it?

Sayadaw: When you see the defilement early in its stages, you don’t want it to disappear – you want to investigate it. You want to learn about it – you don’t want to let it out of your sight.

You’ll understand its nature only when you let it be and you investigate it.

There are many ways to make the defilement go away right away, but it’ll keep coming back. But, if you understand it, it’ll then have less power over you.

Once you have right view or understanding about it, then it cannot overpower you – it can be there, but it cannot overwhelm you because you understand it.

If you can, you see the defilement when it’s small; you use right view and start practicing by watching it continuously to understand it.
