Yogi: I meditate with a lot of wanting – it should go this way and that way. Later when the mind relaxes, it can see when the awareness is narrow and focusing and when it is more open.

Sayadaw: That means that you can check your awareness. Then, you don’t have to do much – just check if the awareness is present or absent. Let other things be. 

You take care of the awareness – just check if it’s present or not. Do only this and when awareness is present, the mind does its job. 

You don’t have to do anything because whatever you’re doing at any time, the mind knows something; it is already knowing.

All you have to do is just to check if awareness is present or not.
