We are not trying to control too much. If there are too many ‘don’ts’, the mind becomes tense.
We don’t control too much in our practice; what is important is that we are aware of ourselves.
When awareness is present, wisdom will come – should or not, need or not, necessary or not. That learning naturally grows the mind.
The mind becomes tense when there is too much controlling. The meditating mind must be relaxed for wisdom to arise.
If you’re tense, you can concentrate but understanding cannot arise.
