WHEN RELAXED AWARENESS CAN DO ITS JOB

See this content in the original post

Yogi: I have been doing dead-focus awareness all the time until the mind says ‘It’s the mind doing it, not you!’ Then only the awareness relaxes.

Sayadaw: This means that the mind notices what is going on. That is why it believes when the mind says ‘It’s the mind doing it!’ – the mind then lets go and awareness can relax. The relaxed way is right, the tense way is not right.
