Yogi: I notice the mind wanting to give up the practice when I am sick.

Sayadaw: You need to practice more when you’re sick, why? When you’re sick or when you have a problem, if you’re not aware, what happens? There will be more complaining and resistance for sure, and more defilements will arise.

When the situation is not okay, you need to practice more – you need to be more awake and alert, otherwise, defilements will overrun the mind.
