I understand. When awareness is not strong enough and you have to face the defilement all the time, it feels like the game is too difficult and you don’t want to play.

Watching physical objects is like playing an easy level game. That’s why you want to keep going to the physical object.

It is better that you alternate between watching mental feelings and physical objects, back and forth. You don’t watch the defilement all the time, or you can get depressed.
