A MIXED BAG OF MINDS HAPPENING AT ANY ONE TIME

Yogi: Sometimes when I’m aware of aversion, I don’t feel contented. That awareness has wrong attitude in it; it is a mixture of being able to recognize it and yet being unhappy about it.

It’s like a multiple-moment kind of experience.

Sayadaw: Imagine our mind to be like a river and there are many droplets of water in it; any moment there could be a mixture of good and bad happenings and that’s what is happening in our mind. That’s why it feels like that.
