NOTHING CONTINUES IN REALITY

Yogi: I had almost finished sweeping the leaves and felt very happy – but the leaves dropped again and again, and I landed up sweeping 3 times.

Sayadaw: You swept not 3 times, but only once. Reality is like this – don’t think about the past. Every time is one time.

If you think 3 or 4 times, the mind becomes impatient – when you think that it happens again, again and again, the idea changes. 

Actually, you can do only one time.
